* If you are doing one big uniform meal, assign your guest certain groceries to purchase and bring with them. This keeps the costs down for you.
* If you are doing different food themes (Mexican, Italian, Chinese, etc.), then assign one person to be in charge of each theme and have that person assign the grocery list within each group.
* Whatever dishes, pans, or utensils you don't have that you need, assign someone to bring instead of you buying. Keep the costs down.
