It's my DH's 30th birthday this year and I was planning to take him to fancy hotel for the night and have his family and mine join us as a surprise for dinner in the evening.
The only weekend available is the one closest to his birthday - every other weekend that month is already booked up between a holiday, a wedding and a work commitment. But my sister and her boyfriend aren't able to join us on the night in question because they're going to a concert.
So do I:
-
Go ahead on that night anyway without my DSis and her DP, despite them being very close to both of us? They would be very nice about it but would definitely be sad to miss out and my DH would miss them too.
-
choose a different weekend we can all do but which will be at most 2.5 weeks from DH's actual birthday
-
do the hotel stay that night and the dinner somewhere else on another day? Probably the most convenient option but makes the overall event less special (as it isn't all one day) and requires twice as much organising and is more expensive because no hotel discount.
-
mystery perfect solution I haven't thought of yet??
Advise me wise MNers! Thank you!
