For my 21st birthday...party question?

Q. I want to rent a party bus for my 21st birthday so my friends and I can go drink and not have to worry about a taxi or a designated driver. The problem is, it's kind of expensive and I can't completely pay for it on my own. Is it rude to request about $10 from everyone. I'm going to be supplying the alcohol, but its just too much to have to pay to tip the driver, renting the bus and the alcohol. Do you think its ok if I ask them to bring $10 on the invitation?
My parents aren't able to fund the whole excursion as it is $300 not including alcohol.

Answer
I'm a fan of the responsible drinking and non-driving. Thumbs up on that.

I'm on the side of pitching in to make it work. Heck, if my kid wanted to do this, i'd party fund the adventure as well. I'm sure most parents would.
Some people disagree that if you're throwing a party you should bear the costs in doing so. I disagree. A birthday is a gathering of people that want to celebrate your birth (and your arrival to the drinking world!). My guess is that they'd want to HELP you celebrate-to be part of the event. You only get one 21st birthday.
I'm not familiar with the belief that an invitation to a function entitles the guest to freebies.

Get crazy (well...) and have fun. The key is to surround yourself with positive people and great experiences.

Answer
It depends on what your party theme but you could have them as tickets. like a concert ticket but instead it'll be your party's ticket to go in....

Birthday Party Invitation Etiquette?

MOCHA_PASS

I'm inviting about 40 of my closest friends and family to dinner and bowling with me for my birthday party.

The expectation is that all people will pay for their own meal at the restaurant - this won't be seen as an issue because (as a family) we do this all the time. The wording becomes interesting when we want to invite people to go bowling afterwards where all people under 21 will be paid for and people over 21 will have to pay for themselves .. The people under 21 are seen as my "guests" since I'm turning 16 so my mom said she will pay for them.

How do I word the invitation so everyone clearly knows the expectation for how their dinner and bowling night (in my honor) will be paid for?

Thanks .

Answer
I believe I would send out 2 sets of invitations to the appropriate parties and in the over 21 invitations, I would include a ''disclosure'' explaining the circumstances so that they understand the ''under 21's '' are included as special guests of you and otherwise the other guests are self-treating.....it is only polite to explain to the ''over 21's'' the stipulations of the event.
