In your friend groups, do you usually have one or two people that normally host get togethers or does everyone take turns?

We usually have gatherings at the same home as it's the biggest, but there are two other friends that have opened their homes for gatherings occasionally. We meet up at least once a month or so.

It's probably about 30% of the time round one of a few people's houses that actually have the space to have more than a couple of people over at one time comfortably.

The remaining 70% of the time is bars, restaurants, gigs, cafes, etc

We tend towards houses without pets because the friend group includes people with children and allergies. So that does mean 2 houses out of the 5ish.

You have friends!? In this economy?

Typically one couple hosts the get togethers. My wife and I are trying to host more though.
