Re: Thanksgiving Dinner charges?

First I feel it is rude to extend an invite to my home and then ask  the person to pay their share.  For $25.00 a couple my first thought was they must be ordering from the deli counter at the local grocery store, two in my area are offering a dinner for 2 for $19.99, you have to purchase the dessert if you want any.  So I am thinking the "cartering" is probably not from a restaurant, or there are additional couples attending.  I would definitely contact the wife and let her know I would not be attending.

@AmarrIt's $50 per couple, not $25. and it's from a restaurant. I hope @Duckncover  and her DH attend.
