Help, not sure what the etiquette is regarding this!
I am attempting to organise a birthday dinner for myself and a friend with our work friends in a fortnight. However the problem is that as we are a group of at least 25 people, they want a deposit which is going to be £6 for each person (this will come off the cost of their food). Is it rude to send out an email asking for this (and all asking the 10 or so people I haven't heard from to let me know)? I plan to add on the end that if people don't fancy the meal they can always meet us afterwards as we'll be going for drinks.
I don't in any way expect people to pay for us or bring presents, but I don't want to pay £100+ upfront (particularly when there are a lot of maybes)... For our work christmas meal everyone paid a deposit and were fine with it, but it feels different as this a a personal dinner!
