Is there anything wrong with just having a group of people over at your house to celebrate the last supper? I’ve heard of some groups doing so and some groups don’t use the bread and wine, but rather they just have a community meal with fellowship. Is there anything wrong with either? Thanks.
No, it shouldn’t be wrong. Jesus said to "do this in remembrance of me". Jesus also said that where two or more are gathered in his name, there shall he be also.
The disciples were no formalized church and they followed his example. Early churches were nothing but gatherings of followers who got together to honor, praise, and worship the Lord. You don’t need fancy rituals to honor our Lord and Savior.

No. It is an command given by Christ to the local church to commemorate Christ’s death by the Lord’s supper. The church is supposed to do the commemoration lead by the Pastor and Deacons.
That is what my church believes and practices. We are Baptist.

Only an ordained Catholic priest can change bread and wine into the Body and Blood of Christ, while saying Mass, with at least one person in attendance.
