Family/friends do today at my house. There will be around 10 adults and 6/7 young children there one of which will be my DD who is very nervous around dogs, though is getting better, with work. MIL has announced that their friends are coming to (fine with that they are lovely people) and that they want to bring their dog. Said dog is a lovely little rescue dog, bit nervous but sweet. I have said that's fine as long as they don't mind me making up a bed in our utility room for him as there will be children running around, music, noise etc and I think it would be unfair on both the dog and my daughter. MIL now says she's not coming. So AIBU? If so, why?

YANBU, I have dogs myself and wouldn't feel comfortable with someone bringing their dog to my house in this situation. I'd feel responsible for my guests and would not want to have to supervise a strange animal, in a strange environment (the strange environment being your house to the dog).

Oh dear, she sounds a bit of a handful. You have an interesting day ahead of you!

Wouldn't dream of taking my dog to someone's house, wouldn't even occur to me to ask. Especially a rescue dog who will probably be overwhelmed by all the noise and rioting children.
