Here’s what we’d do
Keep the menu simple and rotate hosting only among people who want to host. Friends with smaller homes can contribute food, pickup or cleanup instead; the tradition should not equate having space with caring more.
How to make it happen
Go at your own pace.
- Before inviting
Choose the practical details
Set a frequency, food cap and voluntary host list with easy swaps.
- The shared part
Give the activity room
Use the same basic meal structure so each host doesn't need to outdo the last.
- A good ending
Finish at the agreed pace
Pick the next date and task owner before leaving, without assigning absent friends.
Choose your version
A few things to know

Is this your kind of plan?
One regular venue with individual orders. Less home work, with ongoing restaurant spending.
- Confirm each gathering separately and ask about dietary changes.
- Confirm the date, meeting point or call link, and spending with everyone before committing.
If the first version doesn't fit
One regular venue with individual orders. Less home work, with ongoing restaurant spending.
