[quote=Anonymous]I’d have just hired someone to plan the party, op. You also need to decide if this will be a party meant for kids or a grownup party? Personally, I’d have it be a family friendly event.. your husband has probably spent too much time away from you and his kids, more then is good for him even if he has been doing socially acceptable things like work and school. He’s gotten too used to that lifestyle, I’d not be continuing to make it acceptable for him to be absent. 
I’ve also noticed many men are critical when women want to hire help which infuriates me because men get whatever help they need, they have secretaries, aide-de-camps in the military, clerks or counselors for church positions and nobody says boo about any of this. 
I’d not ask your friends and family to “pitch in”, I’d be done with the friendship if someone did that to me. In fact, my husband and I pretty much were when a friend sprung that on us at his wedding, and no, it wasn’t a Hallmark movie where everybody rallies round because the caterer’s truck wouldn’t start, it was pure selfish greed, and no a last-minute text of “we need this” doesn’t mitigate the rudeness. It also sets up a weird caste system, the friends who help and the ones who don’t. 
I’m sorry, op. Unless party planning is your thing, most people don’t know how to do it. You get more people then you planned on, you get requests you don’t know how to deal with, you have physical space requirements, it’s a lot of work. Start channeling your inner Nancy Reagan.
