I would like to add though - getting people to RSVP in a timely manner is an impossible task. I've even resorted to facebook (electronic is so much easier, and Facebook reminds you the event is approaching) and put strict warnings that if they do not RSVP, they can't come. If the deadline is approaching, i specifically ask people. No matter what I do, I always have someone show up that didn't RSVP and a few last minute cancellations. At least it tends to even out. But, it does bother me that people don't realize how much effort and money goes into a dinner party. Yes, I enjoy hosting, but I would enjoy hosting a lot more if I knew how many people I had to cook for. Since my apartment is very small, it also requires a lot of effort to move around furniture and get folding chairs so that all my friends can fit. Usually if there is a shortage of chairs, I'm the one left standing.
