It's not a great idea to come out and ask for it, because the hostess might not have any decaf and you don't want to embarrass her. But you can certainly respond to "Would you like coffee?" with a question of your own: "Is it decaf?" Because so many people prefer to skip caffeine at night, it may well be. If, however, your hostess says, "No, it's regular," and doesn't offer to make a pot of decaf, then just say, "No, thank you," and leave it at that.
