If you bother about how the person feels, how about reflecting on how you feel about the person?
If you are not comfortable, then politely inform the host that you can't make it and thanks him for his thoughts and invitation...
This is good advise.
And if its because all your friends are going, and you didnt want to be left out.
Then go, but either pay for your own food or bring along a gift to the host.
A small bouquet of flowers if the hosts is female, a cheap bottle of wine with a easy to decant bottle stopper to drink with the meal if all of you are adults or you can try to scrape together some $$$ to buy the desserts to share with everyone and the host.
A, you treat us, we also treat you back something kinda returns is always welcome.
