Print Free File: Dinner Club Rules

Here are some guidelines you can use when you set up your dinner club.

Objective: To surround ourselves with friends, try new restaurants, have fun, and enjoy adult conversation.

Rules

1.  Organization:

*  We will meet the 4th Saturday of every month.  (Except December.)
*  At least two couples will rotate into a different group each month.
*  Each couple will host at least two dinner clubs each year.
*  No children.  However infants are welcome.
*  Please no restaurants with the majority of entrées over $25/person unless agreed  upon by the group.

2. Chair Couple Responsibilities

*  Remind the Host Couple’s it’s their month to organize the club.
*  Organize the rotating schedule.
*  Pass out surveys.

3. Host Couple Responsibility:

*  Select the restaurant and/or activity for that month. (Anything goes: game night,dinner out, dessert, etc.  Please no movies.)

*  The assigned host couple is responsible for sending out an invitation to each member of the club two weeks prior and send an e-mail reminder a couple days before.

*  Make sure the restaurant has the capacity for our group and make a reservation if required.

*  If the majority of one group cannot attend the dinner, the hosts can invite a guest couple or call the other group to see if they can join them.

4. Couple Responsibility:

*  Get a babysitter.

*  Each couple should RSVP to their host couple at least a week in advance.

*  If an emergency comes up, call the host couple as soon as possible.  This eliminates people from waiting on you at the restaurant and holding up dinner.

*  Each couple should have a great attitude and be willing to try new restaurants, foods, and activities.

*  The participating couples do not need to worry about getting a substitute couple if  they are unable to attend.

5. Likes and Dislikes: A survey of likes, dislikes and theme meal preferences will be gathered from each member.
