We have a pre-xmas meal which we usually invite an old family friend to. However, we weren't sure if he was coming this year, so we invited a couple we haven't seen in ages, who were part of the same group of friends IYSWIM. But now the original friend is coming too, and I feel horrible about the fact that there is another couple, who live nearby, who were also part of the group who we haven't yet invited. Am I being really horrible if I don't invite them? With the family and the 3 friends we already have eight adults and two toddlers, we live in a flat with no table other than a fold down number which seats six, and a small crappy oven with which to cook a full xmas dinner, and I really don't see how to seat and feed the people already coming, let alone two more. But then I think how I would feel if several of the old crowd had got together for a meal just down the road, and didn't invite me, plus I really like them, and it would be fun to all be together.
What would you do?
