Why not just make up some platters of snacks for them that are easy for him to serve them and then go to the movies with a girl friend until they leave.
As long as you greet them when they show up and have instructed your husband about the snacks they shouldn't be offended that you have your own activities to do.

Why would he have bad thoughts of you? Only if you are flirting, and you know the difference and so should he. I always serve a beer, coffee, snacks or what ever is appropriate for that time. Stay around for some of the conversation to be polite. But never cross that line, and always put my husband first. At the end of the event, MY HUSBAND always thanks me and tells me what a wonderful hostess I was. Maybe this will come with some age or time being married. Also sit down and talk to your husband about your feelings of his insecurity's and or yours. Be fair to yourself and your husband, give him a chance to appreciate you.

Um, if your husband is going to have those kinds of thoughts about you (assuming that you aren't flirting), then I would say that it's not a good idea to entertain at your home at all. When we have guests over, my husband and I both entertain whoever it is, whether they are men or women. And neither of us flirt. It is possible to have opposite-gender friends.

Is he expecting you to help to entertain them... you can be social with out flirting... wear something thats not appealing/sexy...like a big sports t-shirt... and just relax... if he didn't want you around them he would have them over... and if one of his friends get out of line with you which and I am sure it will happen... I'm in the same situation... handle it yourself discretely... don't tell your husband unless the the guy got really physical to the point you can't handle it... I know I gave more info than you asked for but I understand your situation... hope this helps!

If you are having guests over as a couple and having some sort of get together it's fine to speak with them, have a joke, share a moment. You are married and these are the people he considers his friends, so it's important you attempt to connect on some level with them, even if it is just checking in every once and awhile while they're there, greeting them when they get there and asking how they are and about their lives, and seeing them off when they're gone for the evening.

He can entertain them himself. Tell the guys to bring their wives/GF's along, too, so less pressure on you being the only lady.

Do you know how to talk? How about talking this over with your hubby?
IF he's always having friends over, then let him wait on his own friends. Their his company, not yours. You married him, not them!!
Try some night to have all the girls over and see if hubby takes it upon himself to wait on all of you.................................if he does.....then may be it's ok waiting on his.
