My husband makes it clear to his friends not to bring anything so they don't -- no wink wink we will just bring something. My hubby thinks that by being this way I am unfair to my guests who may want to contribute to the party. Now I don't know what to do because the FBers seem to be on his side with this one.

Atticus and DS will break in on this one soon and side with you. To me it seems kind of like a formality thing -- the more informal the gathering, the more likely/acceptable it is for people to bring stuff. Generally if people are having a fairly formal dinner party, I don't bring anything (unless of course they need to borrow dishes or something
). If it's a somewhat last-minute get-together I will ask what I can bring but generally take what people say at face value.
Edited to say: See! There's Atticus just as predicted.
