Sleepover headache

I normally read the aibu pages and wouldn’t dare post for fear of being flamed so I hope you are all more friendly over here! My Dd1 (9) is having her first sleepover at our house with 3 friends tomorrow. She has been to a sleepover but never had one at our house, all very exciting for her. Her younger sister (6) dd2 and her are very close. Dd1 said completely unprompted that she wants dd2 to join in the sleepover. I don’t mind, dd2 is easy going and surprisingly needs less sleep than my 9 year old so not worried about that. Both have been beyond excited all week. Dd1 has now announced that she doesn’t want Dd2 to stay in her room for the sleepover afterall, worried what her friends will think. Now I’m conflicted, completely fine for Dd1 to do her own thing with her friends and understand how she feels but the issue I have is that it seems mean to go back on what she already said. Dd1 is shy in school and really only bothers with these 3 friends so don’t want to give her any problems or being called babyish etc. But Dd2 is also quite sensitive and will be heartbroken to be disappointed in this way. So wise mumsnetters, what would you do?!
