Bringing things to a party...
I couldn't think of a good title for this post.
Whenever I invite people over, there's always someone (or a couple of people) who offer to bring something and ask what. I always plan in advance to supply everything but it is nice to have a little help. I usually tell them no, that I have it all covered but sometimes I think it would make it so much easier just to let them bring something. When I go somewhere I always offer and am prepared to bring something.
What do you do in this situation? Tell them you've got it covered? Accept some help and let them bring something?

Re: Bringing things to a party...
Depending on what kind of party, I'll say that we'll have XYZ to drink but if they want something else to feel free to bring it. Or sometimes something simple like chips/dip. Or if they're really insistent I'll let them do the dessert sometimes.
As a guest - I like being asked to bring something that doesn't require much prep unless it's a family event (in which case I usually bring a lot of stuff anyway). Bottle of wine, picking up ice, stuff like that.

If they offer, I will accept their offer. If I've got all the food covered, I'll just ask that the bring wine, beer, or soemthing like that. That way it doesnt go to waste if it isnt used. Most likely, someone manages to drink it. . . I also seem to run out of cups/napkins a lot, so I sometimes ask for them to bring those if needed.
If they have something specific they want to bring, I'll tell them sure. I'll just adjust what I'm serving a little to accommodate.
On the flip side, I also offer to bring stuff anytime I go somewhere. I hate going empty handed, and I'll always come with something . . .
