You: Wife and I would love to go to the party. Need us to bring a side?
Him: I was hoping you could cook for 100 people.
You: Man, I have to get my nails done Saturday morning but I can meet you around 11:30 to help you.

You’re supposed to follow the ‘sure, we’ll come’ with ‘what can we bring?’ If they say an app, you bring a fricking app. Where are you from?

If this is the shite that gets you worked up, I feel sorry for you

Jambalaya is easy to cook and feeds a lot.

Cooking for 100 people is a pain in the arse no matter the dish, entree, app, whatever.

it ok to host a party and then ask all of your guest to supply/cook the food and drinks?
In short, it is not ok
You need to tell this person No if you can't/won't help
At absolute minimum, he is shopping for and buying all the supplies and alcohol if you help with any cooking

You usually lead off with the fact that it’s a pot luck. It’s rude to assume your guests will just bring food.

Wrong
I don't need to ask shite if I am being invited to someone else's party
I show up with wine or whatever, and the hosts gladly accepts the offering
The host doesn't get to tell the guests what to bring, unless that is conveyed during the party invite.

Don't know how anyone got that this is something that "triggered" me but I just thought I'd consult the experts on proper party throwing etiquette

maybe having others bring food make the surprise a little easier to pull off?
Posted on 2/12/20 at 7:52 am to NatalbanyTigerFan
Bring a bag of Funions and call it good.

I've had her friends pick things up for me the day of the party but I had ordered them in advance and already paid for them.

Just cook for the party, but throw in some squid ink or bull balls for fun.

I have asked my brother to cook for parties in the past, but I also buy all the ingredients. A pot of Jambalaya for 100 people aint that cheap just to volunteer people to do.

You don’t have to cook for a 100 people, just bring a tray of jalapeño poppers or some shite.
I can’t deal with homeschooled folks this morning.

I've asked a buddy of mine to cook for my engagement party. However, he works for my father-in-law, and he was offered the day off with pay, plus we supplied everything and provided him with with alcohol. Since he has a passion for grilling, he accepted, and was excited for the opportunity to do so.
For my rehearsal dinner, I cooked a big jambalaya for everyone. The Matron of Honor's husband offered his assistance, and I gladly accepted, but I did not request it.
Typically, when the wife and I are invited to a party, we ask "what can we bring?" which is usually answered with "maybe a little something to snack on" or "we've got it taken care of, just BYOB".
Asking someone to cook for 100 people should be asked prior to the assumption that you would be willing to do so:
"Hey, bud. I'm planning a surprise party for the wife, and was wondering if you'd be interested in making a jambalaya for the party. I'll supply everything, I just don't think I'll have time to make it all myself, but I can help."

If its a top 3 best friend, then actually put effort in. If not, then get a tray of cookies from wallmart.

When someone is nice enough to invite me to their home I usually just ask what I can bring.
My mom said it was polite to do so.
