DH showed my an e-mail that he recieved, inviting us to his friends birthday party. It says "friend would be grilling, so bring whatever you would like, a keg will be provided, but donations will be appreciated."
That's so weird to me. When we have a party, we plan on supplying EVERYTHING. We would have offered to bring something, but it just seems weird to go to a cookout and bring your own meal and pay for your beer.
