For dinners, I almost always ask what they'd like me to bring (almost meaning I ~think~ I always do, but I'm sure there's at least one exception somebody will rub my nose in if I say so *g*). So I guess there's no prompting necessary.
I invite people over/take them out at pretty much the same rate they do for me. My house is always a mess and I'm a crappy cook, so I usually don't just invite people out of the blue. :-> Well, except for fannish vid-watching parties, because my TV kicks fannish-butt.
I don't expect people to help clean up, but I totally love it when they do. That said, depending on my mood, sometimes I just want to flop out and let somebody else do the cleaning up, so I may not always offer, or if I do, I'm really quick to take advantage when they say, "oooh, no, you don't have to do that!" But hey - it's my karmic payback for all the f'ing dishes I had to wash when I was younger! :->
