Certainly not. Some like to let others show off their cooking skills and bring things they prefer also. Breaks the humdrum feeling that you have to eat something that is served that you don't like. My son and daughterinlaw love to bring a crock pot bean mixture that tastes marvelous and goes great with any get together. I myself use to take Deviled Eggs and they would go over great at a cook out.

not at all. It's a particular style of party called a pot luck. Perhaps you should ask your hostess what she has in mind for you to bring. The hostess usually supplies the plates, eating utensils, napkins and drinks and a main dish - usually meat. Then guests bring a side dish or a dessert to share. So if you plan to go make sure that you bring more than one serving because it is meant to be shared.
My mother taught me to never go to any party empty handed.
Have fun!

I had a potluck reception. My husband and that i have been given married in a legal experts workplace, went on holiday and had our reception exceedingly a lot 2 weeks later. It became an fairly small celebration, in undemanding words close associates and family individuals, i'd say it became probable 50 human beings there. I see no longer some thing incorrect with a potluck journey if it really is what the couple needs. Its large to tasted everyones food, and it serves as a present. inspite of the actual undeniable actuality that we nonetheless were given presents, it became properly wide-spread that presents weren't needed. Weddings in the present day are truly in simple terms too expensive. I were given married 10yrs in the past, and that i comprehend now with a chum that in simple terms were given married the prices have doubled because then. i imagine there are a number of more effective makes use of for that money wasted and thats why I did what I did. We took the money we ought to have used for a posh wedding ceremony/reception and positioned the down price on a house. To in the present day, each anniversary, we've a celebration in potluck variety and we like it. finally, at the same time as you may imagine that is tacky, its no longer your journey. So restoration some thing tasty and bypass relish your self.

Not if you make it clear that it is a potluck in the invitations right from the begining. Then guests know what they are committing to when they accept the invitation. It definitely would be poor manners, though, to invite guests to a party as if they were being hosted, and then ask them to bring food after they say yes. If you invited them as your hosted guests, then it is up to you to provide all food and drink unless someone makes an offer to help out.

No not at all. It's called a 'Faith meal' where I live. I was, however reading in the paper the other day that dinner parties are a thing of the past these days. More people go out to eat with friends than having the hassle and expense of a dinner party, and the worry of who likes what.

If you call it a pot-luck dinner then no, but if you are the hostess of a barbecue that you are coordinating, then it might come off a little tacky to ask guests to bring dishes.

No I do not think so. It is not only a big help but it is also a way to have more and to know that there is something there that everyone likes!
At least I would hope that they like what they brought! LOL.
You are trying to bring loved ones together and need a little help. I do this all the time.

Not at all! Part of the tradition in the backyard bbq is that everyone brings something. Be it a salad, some extra snags or chops or even a dessert. You provide the basics, everyone brings the extras and you all have a good time! :)

Not at all. It should be stated when the invitation was made though. I think it's considered rude if the guests dont ask what they can bring.

No! Everyone does it. It makes it more interesting. I always bring something when I get asked to a party. Even if they don't ask me to.
