Default Re: covering expenses of providing private play parties
I agree with what the others have said regarding seeking legal advice locally.

That said, my current understanding is that in most places, if you meet regularly and require donations it is considered a business.

On the other hand, if it is a private social club were folks have to meet certain criteria to be members, then you can charge them a fee to cover out of pocket expenses. Keep in mind though that their is a lot of fine print that separates what is a private social club from what is a business. So you really will need a good lawyer.
