Pardon me while I vent.

If you are the host(ess) you have certain responsibilities. These responsibilities include, but are not limited to: who, what, when, and where. If I am your guest, I really don't want to have to be in charge of making these decisions. I mean, I don't mind having input, but ultimately the work should be yours.

In specific terms, this mean that if I am coming to your house for dinner, and I've already told you our dietary restrictions, then I don't want to choose the meal from a list of ten. You are not a restaurant. Even if I hate it, I will eat it and tell you it's good.

And when I am the hostess, I will tell you when dinner will be served, what will be served, and where it will be. I'll handle the decision-making, because it's my event, and therefore my responsibility.

So please, pick a damn entree. I'd do it for you.
