How do I tactfully phrase, guests are expected to pay their own way?
I am a graduate student and I have many family members and friends coming to my graduation ceremony. Because it is a large number of guests, and I don't begin a new job until the fall, I cannot afford to pay for everyone to go out to dinner. I would like to have a gathering so that we can all get together after the ceremony. I cannot accommodate that many people at my house. So the plan is to arrange a dinner at a mid-range restaurant but each guest would need to pay their way. How so I phrase it in my invitation?
