ok, im and international student in canada, and im planning to have a birthday party at a sushi house, do i have to pay for all the food there its pretty darn expensive, or do i have to only pay for my food?? I am invinting some of my itnernational friends around 10 people (male and female) im 14 but my friends range from 13-18 year of age.
acutally im 15 cause its my bday haha
would they just show up expecting me to pay for their food???/
 
If you invited them.. they yes, they will expect you to pay for them.
You should make it clear up front that you want them to come celebrate with you, but that they should expect to pay for themselves.

If they are your friends, they will understand.. but tell them BEFORE you go out.

Throwing your own party and then asking for people to pay is a bit crass.
 
If I was in your place really and truly I wouldn't pay for anyone but myself. Hey it's your birthday, people should be spoiling you and you should be spoiling yourself.
 
You should make it clear that you are asking them to celebrate with you at your birthday dinner, but that everyone pays for their own food. If your friends can't afford it they might not come, but it's far less awkward to do that than not making it clear and have them come expecting that you will pay.

If money is an issue and you still want a party, you could always have a party at someone's house instead of going to a restaurant. Ask everyone to kick in a few dollars for supplies and make sushi, or something like that. Really, anything you want to do is fine, as long as you make sure that everyone understands beforehand what the plan is and how the costs are being split.
