Bare Bones BBQTasty Ideas For Your Barbecue & Grilling Pleasure

Potluck Party – OK or rude?

We bought a new house in June (second home) and had a lot of people say they would like to see it for what planning to have a BBQ / party this fall and invite friends and family at a time. We are not calling for a housewarming gift and do not expect, however, were thinking of making it dinner. We provide meat, some sides, drinks, etc, but people bring a dish would certainly raise the variety. Togethers are common in our area, but it is impolite to mention put food on the invitation? That's how I intended that the word boxes are unpacked and we ready to party, join us for a fall barbecue and help us celebrate! Bring a dish or just bring hope to see you (plan to eat around 16:00) Thanks for the comments, we do not want to appear rude so his thoughts are appreciated.

There is a problem in writing. You are saying that " join us for a barbecue fall … "implying that you are providing all the food – and then educate people to bring food. What I really wanted say is "join us all for a Potluck fall, BBQing meat and everyone can bring a dish …" You are not having a barbecue – you are having a meeting and what happens to bring is barbecue. is not rude – you put it, are common in your area, so how could they be rude? Just do not called something other than what it is.
