Christmas Potluck

Hi ladies-

How do you ask people to bring a dish for a Christmas party (on an invite)?  OR do you just wait for them to ask if we need anything and then suggest something they can bring?  I don't want to offend anybody.

I'm making ham, cheesy potatoes, green bean casserole and cranberry sauce (we'll also have some Christmas cookies).  It may seem like a lot but DH has a HUGE family and we're inviting friends on top of that.  Plus, having people bring dishes is yummy and fun (get to try everybody's best recipe, you know?). 

Let me know what you think because I'm stuck.  Thanks!

    If you really want/need people to bring a dish, just put it on the invitation!!  Say what you are going to make and then ask them to bring their favorite dish to share.  I can't imagine a potluck would offend friends/family.
