We can do better than wine and canapes

Would I some day be expected to host a reception party I will post this invitation:

Hey folks, I look forward to seeing you all. PLEASE bring a friend so I can talk other people than you which I do either way every day. I know you will bring wine and flowers so we will all share this great stuff at the reception. The 2k+ USD I will save by not buying canapés and other classic, boring reception stuff I will donate no strings attached to an upcoming startup. The founder and the team will join the reception and pitch their idea. See you all, lets have a fine day!
