In my family? Everybody. Zonti's graduation party had about 300 guests, I shit you not.
It kind of reminds me of how parties go in my friend group. One person will be hosting, and everyone feels like they need to contribute, even if the host says they have it covered. We proceed to always bring much more food and booze than needed. I think we've supplied my one best friend's liquor cabinet. She now sends us back with parting gifts of half-used bottles of hard liquor.

See, if Uncle James brought half a handle of rum to little Lauren's sixth birthday party, that would be interesting. I wish that would happen. (Modders, get on it! Hot dogs to gin!) But instead he's bringing a plate of Autumn Salad. Then, he walks all the way upstairs to her baby sister Lisa's room, and puts the salad on the end table. Who at EAxis thought this was a good idea? Maybe with one guest, but when you have thirty all looking for a place to put their offering, it gets old fast.
What would be awesome is a "No, you don't have to bring anything" checkbox on the invite screen. Maybe the mother-in-law ignores it, but everyone else generally adheres.

The thing that annoys me most about this scenario is that the game implies, upon your sim having invited all of the guests, that your sim needs to have a lavish setup in order for said guests to enjoy themselves. Nuh uh! If the guests bring their own food, why even bother having your sims serve food or buy a buffet table? The whole setup is retarded. Retarded, I tells ya!
