I love having friends over. Entertaining does not need to be stressful at all. One idea is having a 'progressive' dinner. Progressive meaning 'continuing' dinner... every week, a group of us meet up for dinner and take turns hosting. Whoever is hosting has the dinner at their place, makes the main dish and the rest bring appetizers, dessert, drinks, etc.
This lightens the load but it also gives us a chance to catch up with one another every week (you can choose to do every other week). It's also an opportunity to show off (or practice) your skills at cooking :)
