Guests come to the holiday to have fun and relax, the host party undertakes in advance to provide those who come with everything they need free of charge. Dishes and meals are served in beautiful dishes, but this does not mean at all that guests will have to wash them after themselves. The hostess should make sure that everyone feels comfortable and doesn't feel obligated to wash the dishes.
