I'm with JMorris. I'm always surprised when people just dig into their food before everyone has been served.

On a *slightly* different note: is it ever appropriate to educate your peers about things they are doing that could be considered rude?

In the spirit of MAMANE, I'd like to say, although not very formal, buffet formats work well for mixed guests.

Salad buffets, tostada bar, chili & potato buffet, etc. are all great. Everyone can choose their own toppings & mixes.

Of course it's important to keep in mind any serious allergies, such as nuts and gluten to make sure to not cross contaminate or endanger your guests but it also allows everyone an opportunity to fill up and enjoy great company with out a lot of stress on the host.

Great idea Lisatee!

Does anyone have recommendations for the best wraps to use? Preferably vegan. I always see different types in the stores but they're a bit expensive to try and find out they're not tasty!

I'm in with the salad idea.

Plus if there's a grocery store near you work you can skip all the lugging and just grab what you need there!

That slate article is right on. Although I will admit, I have had some cheap wine I wouldn't drink again myself, I wouldn't let it stop you unless you've tried it before.

Also remember: Not all of your friends are at the same spot financially. It's the gesture that counts!
