If the party is in your condominium, then I would say it is rude. If you are having the party outside of your actual unit, in a common area, where other residents can also invite their guests, then it seems ok, to cover expenses for food, drink and a band.
Personally, I would never charge guests coming to a party that I was hosting in my house. That's just not right. If I can't afford to host the party, then I won't have the party.

Okay for a bar or a club to charge a cover fee, if they advertize it up front and aren't sending individual invitations to just certain people.
For a private party at your condo, it's rude. Very rude. All of the persons hosting the party should split the costs.

Is your condo a location able to host comfortably and flawlessly a party for 50 to 100 guests??? that means at least a 2000 sf, with a couple of bathrooms. I am not thinking mansions, just comfort.
If you have 50 ppl, with 1 drink/hour over - ugh, say from 10 to 1am for new year (I am looking at minimum), that is 5 hours, that is about 250 trips to the bathrooms... can your humble abode stand that (and are you ready to spend NYE running to supply toilet paper???)?
If the answer above is YES, go ahead. charge them.
Otherwise, still throw the party: but ask that everybody brings their drinks, and split the food among 5 to 10 good friends (one can provide the appetizers, one the starters, one cheese and fruit platters, one fruit desserts, one choc desserts, one coffee and tea, one a chicken entrée, one a beef entrée, one salads, one side dishes). You take care of soft drinks, water and ice (in baby plastic tubs, on the balcony). as long as your guests bring in the booze, you'll be throwing the party of the century.

It is always rude to charge people when they are coming to your home. If you cant afford to pay for your guest then you shouldnt throw a party.

If they're paying, they're not really your guests. Rather, you're all hosting the party together. Which means they get a say in the planning.

The Party is a gift to your friends, don't charge them. The really good friends will bring their own booze and then some.

Of course. When you charge a fee, you have patrons, not guests.

I always thought it was. If you're throwing a party, it's meant to be a party, not an exclusive club with VIP passes.
