That I am still waiting for DPs friend to RSVP?

The toyboy is 30 today, (for the next 2 years we will inhabit the same decade at least)

We are having a bash tonight, sent invites out weeks ago, Dps mate would need to stay over and said he should be coming, however I need to know if it is just him, or is it him, wife, her DD their DS and his DS from Ex.

I have emailed but no reply.....

Also he is a veggie so I need to know if I should do more veggie food then I have already or not.

I need to sort bedding and sleeping arrangements.

Is it too much to ask that someone replys in full....I have 5 hours to go and no bloody clue.
Aaaarrrrgggggghhhhhhh

I would assume it's just him coming. If he were taking his wife and kids he would have let you know, or she would.

Why can't you phone him?

No YANBUto have expected a reply by now, but as you've not had one I'd get on the phone to him and get an answer.

Hope you have a great night!

I did phone only to get voice mail, left massage please let me know who is coming.

Their DS is only 6 months old so If the whole family are coming I hope they have a travel cot as I no longer have one.

perhaps the fact that you left him a massage scared him off?

lol!

All I want to know is do I need to sort beds for 4/5 extra people or not.....

Going to make potato salad now.....wondering why men are so useless.

Trust me, he would have told you if bringing the whole family! I'm presuming the Do is a bit of a piss-up? Are you or your dh close to his missus? Wouls she presume to be invited? Do you really think she'd just turn up without checking with you that it's ok first?

I love the optisim of "trust me, he would have told you if bringing the whole family."

DH's aunt invited random guests to our wedding as "a surprise".

Nothing surprises me anymore. Your DP's friend could turn up with his wife, children and his mother and I wouldn't be shocked.

Ah yes but the wife, being more organised, would not. How many of us would turn up en masse to their dh's friend's do without checking that it was ok first?
How many of us would trust our dh's to do the arranging?

Trust me, if they were all coming, she'd have been in touch by now.

"DH's aunt invited random guests to our wedding as "a surprise" "

This was a full wedding with 120 people, catering, seating plans, the works.

I would never ever turn up without more detail, but that doesn't mean all women are like me (or you!). Also, she may think her DP has spoken to OP about the details - DH and I have had a number of arguments where I suddenly discover on the day of an event that actually it's a formal dinner and not a random gettogether or whatever and he didn't think to tell me or hook me up with the hostess.

Ok, but bear in mind that this is a 30th birthday party and they are having a bash in the evening.
If this friend's wife doesn't know them very well she probably wouldn't presume she was invited. No doubt her dh would rather like to be able to attend his mate's 30th, get pissed and not have his kids hanging around.

If it's even suitable for kids.

So on that basis too, I reckon she ain't planning on being there!

Your dh's aunt is a loon!

She is a total Loon. But the experience has taught me not to assume even the most basic of things from other people!

Oh well if they do turn up, present them with a bowl of salad and a couple of blankets!

Ok a bit of an update.

The wife and kids have always come with him before by the way, so the invite was for everyone.

He emailed to say money was a bit tight and as he is coming up to london next weekend did not think they would be coming today.

He will be staying with us next weekend (still not sure how many of them though).

Veggie roasted veg tart anyone?
