Some people charge guests they have invited to dinner parties or weddings or other occasions, but don't mention it until after the guest (s) have arrived. Is this ok to do?
No, it's not okay. We were invited to a Family reunion, and we never went because they asked up to bring a can of good, meaning a can of corn or green beans just makes no sense. We have an f**ked up family, a bunch of so-called conservative holly rollers from hell on my dads side not late moms. LMFAO!!!

Haha wow... no... certainly not after the fact. It should be included in the invite for the RSVP if it's something that's catered and needs an accurate head count.
If I'm just making shakshuka in my kitchen that's pretty tacky.
No, you make that known up front.
If I'm invited to a wedding and I spend time and money to get there for your special day, just for you to plop a bill on my lap, I will grab my shit and leave.
It should definitely be mentioned in the invitation if they have to pay for a meal. Same with the bar as well.

Oh, hell no!
I heard somewhere that Turkish weddings are paid for by the guests, but they all know in advance or just expect it. (I could be completely wrong about that, but convoys of cars blowing horns are definitely mandatory!)
That’s pretty screwed up. Charging a guest is bad enough, but a surprise charge would make me question our relationship. Don’t care if we’re blood related or not.
Lmao that should be said before the event. If I was invited and found out after I would just leave. Go out somewhere better.
Not if they are not told in advance. It's also tacky to do it at all. If someone invites you to an event, etiquette says the host pays.
That would be hysterical. I could imagine what would happen
I find it tacky. I would never think of charging people whom I invite to a party I am throwing.
that is so not ok
Don't invite people if you're broke
This is nuts.
Ah no
no never
no, never.
