How do I indicate a cost per person for party

Mon 13 Oct 2008 00:00:00 GMT

In the strictest sense of etiquette, it is not proper to ask guests to pay to attend a party. Etiquette experts agree that hosts should deploy cost-cutting measures (have an informal dessert party, whittle the guest list, etc.) rather than requesting guests foot their own bill. While protocol does not advocate putting cost information on a party invitation, some people do in this day and age. If you do opt to put it on the invitation, it’s best to place it in the corner opposite the RSVP invitation, as shown below: Please join us in celebration of JOHN’s 60th Birthday DAY, Date at TIME Hotel Fancy ADDRESS CITY, STATE $20 per person RSVP: 333-333-3333 Remember to consider the feelings of the honoree in this decision. If the honoree is rather traditional and conservative, they would likely be embarrassed by such a request. If you must pass a cost on to your invited guests, the best way to spread the word is by word of mouth.
