Find out what cuisines they like, are any of them vegetarian or vegan? Can you cook something unique or special they may like.

[NotFromThisPlanet]

spaghetti and sauce with extras if you have time (garlic bread, vegetables, meat, ). it would be easy to make and affordable.

[_ATELIER]

STEAK. mmmmmmm <3
i'd have a barbque hands down. unless they ARE vegans lol.

[lovecrumbs]

some type of noodles? Haha. Spaghetti? Lasagna?

[precious4e]

What's your budget? What's the atmosphere? And how many people?

If it's a bunch of people i'd say cook pasta since it's cheap and you can make a lot.
I like to make spinach and beef lasagna and have some bread and salad with it.
I've also made huge pots of chili (extra spicy) and served it with rice or bread
or tacos! you can have a DIY toppings bar. I always have taco night with my roomies. It's fun and cheap.

If it's only a few people and you want something fancier, I'd go with steak or salmon with some potatoes and veggies as sides.

[Atmosphere.]

SHRIMP WITH COCKTAIL SAUCE OH BABYYY!! Just the way I lOVE IT ;]
It's great appetizer!! Not so messy either, and they are not that expensive!!!

or those cute mini sandwich!! omg!!

or slice of apples, oranges, watermelon fruit! good vitamin c ;]

[ktachi]

hot pot. fun and easy!

[SUPERJUNIOR]

^ hehe i agree~ hot pot! FUN and easy xDD i love hot pot! i did it during summer before with my friends in a party and it was like soo hot and we were like hot pot-ing with AC and fan on lmao xD hot pot is like for winter but i do it in summer anyways xDD besides hotpot you can do like steak?and after like for deserts or snack maybe you can make like salad? fruit salad ? jello or puddings~ maybe bake some cookiess cupcakess or hmm a actual cake! hehe xDD thats usually what i make xDD depends on what ur friends like~

[Azura]

i agreed, spaghetti will be easier and faster to make

[green*tea]

..when I have lots of friends over I usually make spaghetti & meatballs with
garlic bread - super easy & quick! but if I have my best friend (who hates
pasta) & those that don't like pasta then I try to make steak & mashed potato
or salmon & string beans with rice - but that's if I don't have a lot of people
over (it's pretty expensive). haha.

or

don't even cook for them (yeep, I said it). set out ingredients & make everyone
design their own pizza! then they get what they want & it'll be easier on you, &
you guys can have fun while you're at it. hahaha.

[shinhdeplol]

i would make hotpot

chicken hotpot, to be exact

[AngelAngel]

Spaghetti!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Use Alton Brown's recipe: http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/alton-b...cipe/index.html SOOOOOOOOOOOO much better than normal marinara sauce or something. Really complex and tastes like tomatoes! Also it doesn't have meat if you have any vegan/vegetarian friends of course if you did I would assume you have said something... but anyways, I like adding mushrooms and ground beef to it.

SPAGHETTI SHOULD BE AL DENTE!!! AL DENTEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Meenuh]

Hamburger helper. Yayer. Haha jk. Or am I?~

Korean bbq is good. Plain bacon.. wrapped in perilla leaves or red lettuce with hot pepper paste and garlic... mmmmmm....

[maly&ahpulee]

you can never go wrong with pasta.. unless you have really asian relatives like i do that would prefer to eat rice with water. =( the reward for trying to make a pleasant dinner.

[Bubbie]

Bring out the mi goreng! If you were notified of them coming, pasta, as everyone .. most people replied, nice and simple, can't go wrong.

Tea for beverages, or fruit juice is nice.

[I.like.foood]

have a barbecue! i love them
