My DDs do this with friends quite often - cheaper than a meal out, fun etc.

I remember my parents doing this when I was growing up. In the winter it would be cake and coffee. In the summertime, it might be homemade ice cream and drinks. It would be my preferred way to entertain, but finding enough people to come who haven't sworn off dessert, sugar, wheat, etc., etc. is a problem. In fact, I've just about quit entertaining due to all the dietary requirements I get hit with. Yeah at this point they become anti-social and I say screw it, stay home. I put out cheese and crackers to go with the sweets, other than that it is a dessert party, I am not catering to anybody's diet. As a mom to a 10 yo child with Celiac disease it saddens me to hear this attitude. It's not her fault she can't eat gluten and for that you ladies are saying she's anti-social and not worth the time and effort to get to know or be included. Ouch to my mommy heart.

I think we are talking more about adults who won't eat certain things more than a child with a medical issue. But in reality it would be hard to invite anyone over with medical food issues especially nuts since the parrot eats nuts everyday and the peanut butter us always on my counter. My kitchen is open so flour goes everywhere. I could never get my home clean enough to invite severe allergy people over.
