Everyone talks about the danger of inviting folks into your home; in early days, all strangers got to see your home...there was nowhere else to go! The overtone of fear is too large here...remember, you are asking people you already know to send someone to you......I would do it! Maybe you want someone to check in by phone during dinner...make sure you, and everyone else, feels safe? We are all so afraid of people taking our stuff.....these folks are frineds of your friends! They will be good, gracious, and maybe even interesting! I wonder if you have made any longer lasting friendships from these dinners?
