How do you party?!
How do you party?
I am going to have a dinner party for my birthday, but the only thing is I do not want to pay for everyone. How do I put it nicely in my invitations that they pay for their own meal?

It's amazing how a person post a question and people put the dumbest answers. That's says a lot about your intelligence.
Let me explain slow for the damn retards.
IT IS MY B-DAY. I WANT TO GO TO A RESTAURANT WITH FRIENDS AND NOT PAY FOR PEOPLE TO EAT ON MY BIRTHDAY. THERE IS A WAY TO WRITE IT IN A INVATATION AND THAT'S WHAT I NEED TO KNOW.
I DON'T NEED FOR A IDIOT TO TELL ME IT'S TACKY. BECAUSE I DON'T RECALL THE BIRTHDAY PERSON PAYING FOR EVERYONE.
I'M NOT LOW ON MONEY STUPID I AM THE B-DAY GIRL.
AND BASICALLY IF HAVE NO IDEA ON HOW TO ANSWER MY QUESTION WITHOUT TRYING TO BE A SMARTAZZ, SKIP IT!

its your b-day do what you want.
You don't.
That is so tacky. You can't invite them to a a party and ask them to pay their share.
Why not just do a casual dinner out and "happen" to celebrate your birthday, but be clear you are all going dutch. But never put that in wrirting.
Are you kidding? Your friends should be paying for YOUR night out. Whenever me and myfriends have birthday dinners, everyone chips in to pay for the birthday person and their own meal. Your friends must suck if they expect you to pay for them. A party at your house would be different.
Hello we are going to (name of restarant) but I am low on money is it ok if I just treat you on Ice Cream at Baskin Robins
have champaign
jst tell them up front nicely that they will have to pay for their own dinner
but i think that since its your birthday people are going to want to 'treat' you
You don't have to write anything in your invitation. Guests will offer to pay for their dinner by themselves (if they are not greedy.) Just simply stay quiet during the time when the bill are being sorted out.
You could buy the decorations and party stuff and make your own party food.
I don't blame you... I've gone to dinner parties for a friends birthday and they've invited me, and I've always offered to pay for them. Unless you live in Europe where its custom for the b-day guy/gal to pay for the b-day meals at a dinner party, the only other thing I can think of to do is to have a close friend of everyone "Invite" everyone instead of doing it yourself. Or try http://www.e-vites.com
Or go to a buffet... where everyone pays up front! But buffets are so tacky. Good luck!
just make a [plan with everyone saying that its my birthday and would like to spend time with all of you... make a plan very casually and spend your birthday with them.. that way you are not mentioning the word treat so it turns out as a casual plan simultaneously you are getting the company of your friends and celebrating your b'day
Just tell them nicely that your having everyone meet you at the restaurant of choice to celebrate your birthday. Then put in the invitation that the menu is open, letting them know if you come you pay!
you shouldn't have to specify that in an invitation. If it's your birthday, your friends (if they are REAL friends and have any class) should know to pay for themselves (and pay for you).
