Dinner party question
DH and I are at a stand still. ?He is stressing... ?we invited 2 couples to have dinner with us to celebrate my birthday and getting my nursing license. ?One couple are my friend's and the other are our friends. ?He is insisting that they will assume that we are picking up the bill. ?I told him I don't think they are. ?I told him, when we have gone out to dinner with friends for their bday did they pay for us? ?No we either paid for ourselves or the group paid for the bday person and spouse. ?I have never been out for someone's bday and had them pay for the entire group.
Any advice for us? ?Any way to communicate to friends that it is pay your own way without being tacky??
Re: Dinner party question
i think it depends on where you are going and how well you know the couples you are going with.
I think the pricier the restaurant, it's polite to offer to pick up the bill for the group since you picked the pricey restaurant in the first place. If it's a casual place like Chili's or your local Mexican restaurant, I'm sure everyone will pull out their credit cards without a second thought.
Plus, are your friends the pick-up-the-bill types themselves? We have friends who -on their birthdays- pick up the bill for the whole group, and in turn we've done the same (although I'll admit when we do that it's usually with a really small group, like just one other couple, b/c we can't afford to treat everyone, either!)
That all said, I don't think I was much help...
They place we are going, ?the food is not expensive, normal range $15-20 for an entree. ?The drinks are what kill you. ?I told DH I am not going to drink until after dinner. ?The last time we went there my drinks (mojitos) are $11 each & I had 6 of them.
My friend is totally pick up the bill kind of person, not sure about our mutual friend, this is actually the 1st time hanging out together.
