when you send out the invitations, just put in "Dutch Treat". most people know that means you pay your own way. tell them to RSVP and when they do, make sure they all know what "Dutch Treat" means.

Etiquette dictates that if you are hosting a dinner (birthday party, celebration, etc.), you do NOT ask guests to pay. However, you can casually ask people if they'd like to join you for dinner. But if it's any kind of party, it's rude not to pay.

If you're doing invitations the proper term is a "No Host Dinner"
If your just going out with friends, ask them to go eat with you and say "We can all go dutch"

Don't invite "guests" to a restaurant if you intend to make them pay!
The entire scenario is unclear.

This came up in the Miss Manners column recently. Miss Manners advised her "Gentle reader" to decline this sort of invitation.

What are they "guests" for? You pay for guests.
