Party without much money - Pot-Luck-Party
You would like to celebrate a party with many nice people and delicious food and drinks.
With no financial ruin, all participants are following the example of the US pot-luck parties. Every couple brings something to eat and drink. The host with the big flat / garden sends everyone
his wishes, so soup, salad, roast, grilled sausages, and then everyone picks his task out and confirms. This prevents 5 soups from coming.
One also asks before for help staff to tidy up.
This works great.
