Obviously if you are invited then you don't pay that is just common sense. But if you are in doubt, make sure you are the first to leave so you can claim ignorance!
If someone invites you to dinner, that implies that the food is provided, and you should not have to pay for your own meal. If you do have to pay, it may still be an invitation, but it is an extremely rude one. There are situations where guests are expected to pay or provide donations (wedding showers, rent parties, charity events etc.) but that should always be very, very clear and explicit on the invitation.Is it still an invite if you have to pay for your own food?
To me, a formal 'invitation' is for a party at which I don't have to pay anything. And I don't mean 'formal' in terms of fancy and over the top, I mean formal in that an actual physical invitation was sent inviting you to an event with a specific intention.
If you're getting asked to come but have to pay your own way, that's just folks gettin' together to socialize. A 'party' for a specific reason with actual invitations should be paid for by the people throwing the party.
Yes, it's still an invitation. They are inviting you to join them for the occassion, that doesn't necessarily mean that they're paying for your food. If you want to be sure, contact the host/hostess in advance and ask them.
Yes it is still an invite regardless if you pay or not. They are inviting you to join them. However I would think it is implied they are paying since they are inviting you to dinner, however, bring enough money to cover your meal just in case.
A true invitation implies you are being treated. The question is whether your cousin knows that.
