I never had a BBQ B4 anywhere else but at my Mothers house... She always supplied the food.... I have to bring the food this time..... Is it normal for the guests to bring things to a party or not?

Yeah people usually bring desserts, like cookies and stuff like that or they make some kind of salads!!

Totally depends on the party. If I wasn't asked, I wouldn't bring food (I would bring a bottle of wine or some other gesture, but not food)...
My GTG is a potluck, so it's different, but on the average, if you're throwing a party you supply the food...
ETA - yes, I've brought a dessert or wine, but not an entree dish

I've been to barbecue's where the host asked everyone to bring a sidedish or an appetizer etc. I have never gone to a barbecue and brought like the actual burgers or the steak etc. Unless of course it was like a spontaneous thing amongst close friends or family.

...I guess it is a potluck. usually when we invite friends over for a bbq they will bring some things to throw on the grill...or if they want to drink beer they bring that. ( we dont usually have beer).... one girlfriend was nice enough to ask if we had any dessert , if not she would pick up some...
not a big deal to us. I always bring something when I go over to someones home...

Usually the people throwing the party supply the food. Sometimes a friend will ask if they can bring something such as a dessert dish.

Depends I have been to BBQ's where it was everyone bring something (like the party at Marni's) and then others where everything was provided by the host

It depends.
If the person is hosting it- meaning Hi I am having a BBQ at my home- please join me.
I would think the owness would be on the host.
As I guest I would offer to bring something.
Conversely if someone says Let's have aBBQ, we will do it at my house, then that implies that everyone will pitch in.

Re: I am a lil confused
it depends - some hosts prefer to do it all themselves, others like the potluck approach.
Have you been asked to bring sometheing?

Re: I am a lil confused
having said that - I rarelt go to someones house without something - whether its something they asked me to prepare or wine, beer or a bouquet of flowers. It doesn't have to be $$$, its just a gesture

Re: I am a lil confused
I agree with the others usually if it's a party, never should be told, but I like to ask if I can help make something and if not desert or wine, I'll bring.
