And Now For Something Completely Different

I’m thinking of having a party - like a martini party or something that involves mixed drinks. Too often I have a beer party or something equally as boring.
But, in light of the budget, I was thinking of having everyone bring their own cocktail recipe (and the stuff to make it) and I would provide my own cocktail along with munchies. I do make some delicious munchies, you know - artichoke dip, anyone?
However, does that sound too tacky? I know the “host” is supposed to provide all those things - but I’ve had BYOB gatherings before too.
Actually - this would make a great Halloween party idea: Gangsters/flappers with old school mixed drinks. Yeah.
Anyway, back to your regularly scheduled freaking out about the economy.

I don’t know if it’s exactly tacky…it is more than a little weird, I think. I could see maybe bringing the extras, like if I were going to make Bug Spray (which is actually a shot), I would bring the pomegranate 7-up, but you would have the base Captain Morgan. Or if I were going to make the Random Fiction (which does not exist), I would bring the olives, mandarine oranges, lemon juice, candy sprinkles, and tomatillos, but would expect you to provide the vodka.
Part of it is that you live far away. It is farther in my head than actuality, I know, but it’s still a 40-minute round trip!
