Have you folks *downsized* the number of parties hosted at your place due to the recession?
We moved into our first home 2 years ago and we had housewarming parties on a monthly basis for acquaintances/friends on both sides of the family. The frequency reduced last year and so far this year we have not had a single party at our place (We still visit the other folks' places and always bring something to contribute to the event, be it cash or food or drinks)
Are you *simplifying* things when it comes to entertaining family/friends (cocktails instead of dinners, more potluck, eating out and going Dutch) to stay in line with the economy?
