I was invited with my kids to new years at a friend's house. Said yes at the time but logistics meant it wouldn't have worked. Her kids go to bed at 7.30 to 8 and she was planning that they would go to bed at the same time. My kids go quite a bit later espec over christmas and although they live very close there was room for my kids to stay.
As I am a single parent it meant we would have to go when at 8 when her kids went to bed - my daughter is 9 (nearly 10) so used to later anyway. And they would be the only kids up (plus hers wouldn't go to bed when mine were still up) - so I just assumed it wouldn't work.
I heard nothing more from her and also assumed she had changed her mind since as it was a few weeks ago so made other plans to stay at a friends with older children and all see the new year in.
Now first friend is asking whether we are still coming! I explained about the later bedtimes but haven't yet said we are going somewhere else - she is friends with the other friend too so I can't lie...
