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.

It's up to each individual party goer to decide if he or she would like to bring a gift to the party, but there's no reason a hostess should refuse gifts out of hand. Alcohol is often an easy gift to bring to a party, especially if the guest anticipates that lots of alcohol will be consumed.
You've never thrown a party at your house where say, you made the burgers and someone else brought the potato salad and someone else brought a watermelon and someone else brought the beer?
