Man Throws Dinner Party, Shocks Guests By Asking Them To Pay Rs 2,000 Each Later
Most people were very upset by the message and shared the opinion that the host was in the wrong for not letting them know beforehand that they would be responsible for covering the cost of their own food.
Having a dinner party is a great way to bring your friends together and relax at home while enjoying delicious food and wine. It's much more affordable and convenient than going out, as you don't have to spend money on transportation or deal with slow service and extra charges.
However, one guest had an unpleasant surprise when they were asked to pay for the ingredients per person, even though they had brought a bottle of wine and were invited to the party.

This incident was shared on the online forum Mumsnet.
A man wrote, "We were invited to a friend¡¯s house for dinner. Took a bottle of good wine with us, we wouldn¡¯t ever go empty-handed. We had a good meal, but they sent us a message after asking for money for each individual! This seemed insane to me, and I would never expect somebody to pay for their food if I asked them around!"

A comment read, "Outrageous behavior and incredibly rude," Another user said, "I would be absolutely mortified to know someone that tight." One more wrote, "If they couldn¡¯t afford to host, then they should have asked everyone over and to bring a plate of food."
Some users on the forum recommended that the guest transfer the money to cover their portion of the food cost and then cancel their attendance to reciprocate the host's lack of courtesy.

"Couldn¡¯t you just text them back and say we¡¯re hosting on x?" Another idea read, "Since the cost will be the same, shall we simply call it even?"
In the comments section, the person who initially posted about the incident mentioned that they were asked to pay a little over ?20 (approximately Rs 2,000) per person. Another user made a lighthearted comment by saying,
"Tell them the bottle of wine you took was ?45.05 (around Rs 4,600)." So they do owe you five pounds. You¡¯ll waive some because they¡¯re such wonderful pals."
Overall, this incident serves as a reminder of the importance of clear expectations and open communication when hosting or attending a dinner party.
