Argh, this 'getting guests to pay their own meal' request is doing my head in :reface:. I've got a strong suspicion that my Uncle (my most unfavourite lol) will call / email me and ask to pay for all the meals.....ARGH!

I'm trying to be a bit unique in the invite wording though - any thoughts on these, or if you've got some other suggestions i'm open to it!

So we'd love to see you there
Instead of giving him a gift
He'd prefer you pay your fare
