what is the proper way to advise guests that the party is cancelled?

Because there are still 3 weeks to the party, you have decided to cancel at an excellent and polite time. I think you either have the option of sending out a notification via mail or personally calling each of the guests to let them know.

I know exactly what you are talking about.  How inconsiderate can some people be? They are really putting you in an akward place by just showing up but I think you should tell them your house is full and give them the name of the sleziest hotel in town for them to spend the night and maybe next time they will be the first to RSVP.

If you have waited for more than an hour or so to appologize for the failure, absolutely nothing will correct the situation now.  It is a failure that, after allowing too much time to pass, is irreparable.  Take your lumps and live with them. \n\nIf however you notified the party quickly already, send an elaborate gift basket to their office, or send tickets to that person and their spouse for a night at the theatre.  Send a card with either gift with a short and honest explanation and an appology.   Good Luck to you.

Give a party for a reduced rate and make sure the host gives out your card. Word of mouth is probably really important in your business.

Tell you host/hostess or server that you'd like to move to a quieter table. You wouldn't "straighten out" your fellow guests if this were a private event, you'd bring the matter to the attention of the person hosting the event and let them handle it. \n\nThe same principle applies to public accomodations, except you can be a little demanding since you are a PAYING guest in that case. You want to eat in peace. Leave it up to managment if and how they accomodate you. If they don't handle the problem well, then you know never to go back there. \n\nDon't "punish" your server by omitting a tip. If you think the affair was really "over the top", send a letter to the owner or the parent corporation.

Have a chat with them and ask them. You can start off by saying you'd like to organize a small christmas party for you and your friends. From there, tell them everything they need to know, like what activities you'll have, what food you'll eat, etc. Then, you can ask them if they are alright with the idea. Tell them you would be more than willing to clean up after the party. Best of luck!

Tell her since it is your party you need to be there and want to be there, but you also want to be with her. Tell her you can be with her either before or after the party or at another time and make a date for then. This is reasonable and if she is hurt its more likely that she just wants the attention of steering you away from your party. Not that she really wants to be with you.

My best guess would be to just call them and see. A description of the course states that it is closed to guest though. I'm enclosing a link for the site.

Go ahead and call the authorities. The aliens will probably just think you are having a party in their honor and invite you to go to an out of this word party with them.  Have fun, wish I could be there.

The host should be told right away that you have to leave. If you can't speak to the host yourself ask someone reliable there to tell the host for you.

Let it go.. its over and done with.  Next time, just get some balls and ask them to turn it down a little.  Im sure they will understand.

Speak to the manager!  I was once able to get a refund (well, free tickets for a future show) for just telling the manager about a sound problem that lasted just a few minutes.\n\nThe managers are generally very interested in keeping customers happy and coming back, so you should have very little problems.

Just say you can't make it on such short notice; you have other plans.  It's obvious that you weren't on the initial guest list and she's just trying to fill the empty seats of people who declined.  SO I wouldn't worry about hurting her feelings.
