[quote=Anonymous]Come up with an unavoidable conflict (only you know what day this party is, but maybe a family member's graduation, birthday celebration (not on the day), or a long-awaited visit from out of state will be made known to you before then) and express your regrets. Assure her there is no need to reschedule but that you'll plan a special goodbye outing for the kids and some of their playmates/your nanny/mom friends during a workday (her most flexible) and say you'd love to have her join you all. Then also plan a separate something for yourself and the kids that you REALLY want to do and think about that as your going away party, just never say anything about it being special to the kids or the parents. Like if it were me, I'd take my charges to the zoo (I'm not in DC and we have never gotten to go as I don't drive at this particular job and the bus ride is exceptionally long) and just explain we were taking advantage of the beautiful weather.[/quote]
