[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yeah, if the kids are young, make them something different that they will like.

Make some extra sides/ pre cut the meat into smaller portions/ get a bucket of chicken/ do a buffet instead of a sit down.

Just smile and laugh, and tell everyone that you are so happy they came to your house, but you needed to switch things up a little.  It will be totally fine, and if these are nice people, they will be thankful that you were willing to graciously accommodate them at the last minute.[/quote]

This. They know they are last minute guests. Do dinner as planned and avoid individual portions. If it's steak, pre-slice and put on a platter. Serve everything buffet style or passed plates. Make lots of kid friendly food (but let your kids have a little of the real food, as it sounds like it's their favorite). Don't worry about your "menu". Make what you bought and throw together some pasta and sauce. Smile and let them know how happy you are to have the extra company. [/quote]
