Eh, I think we got a misunderstanding. :) Maybe "invite" was the wrong word here. My idea was the following: If we have n food tickets we'll have to pay for n meals. However, it does not matter *who* uses a food ticket. So if I skiped a meal and thus have an extra ticket, I can give it to someone else, so (s)he uses it. This does not raise the overall number of served meals but still provides some flixibility. Was that clearer? Or do I misunderstand something myself?
