If the host pays for the event he/she would be considered using incorrect form. It is NOT considered uncomfortable or rude...just the opposite...it is considered the norm to charge the invitee for a large event. When we have private functions at our homes, ei dinners or luncheons with a small number of people, we do not charge people to attend. I'm not sure how long this has been a military tradition...probably since the beginning because most of our customs in the United States started with the military and have evolved from there. 12/27/2006 12:41:42 PM Rivergirl said: good to know! Im having difficulty with this matter. My husband is conservative and may feel badly if I denote a "price per person". But since its his 50th, I wanted to make a big deal out of it. The food cost alone is $40.00 per person, so I was wondering if I could suggest $20.00 per person which would lighten the load for me personally. It seems like a managable amount when you think about all the food that will be served in a formal setting. I don't know how I would feel if I received an invitation like this??
