Needless to say, the wives broke into gales of laughter. When that finally died down, after what seemed like an hour, they gleefully explained the 'bring a plate' concept as my face got redder and redder.

Well, I was confused until I googled for "bring a plate". I've never heard this phrase nor seen it on an invitation. But, I have been to many "covered dish" or potluck dinners. It's a shame that the invitation wasn't a little bit more informative.
