As long as any visitors are 'putting themselves up' and not expecting to stay with you, it will all slot into place ;-).

No, only my son will be staying! The others live near enough to come for the day, plus our home is small. No spare beds!  No, it will be more organising when and food!

If you hired a hall could everyone bring a plate?  Make sure there's a list so that you don't end up with 1,000s of cheese straws 

Our local Motel does a good spread, costing per head.  Saves having to wash up

  now I would be panicking if we needed the use of the village hall! No, they just want close family to come. Now if you are catering for such a large number, you set the date and they either can come or not, but with a small number, I have to try and organise a date to suit everyone. And while I don't enjoy cooking, I do enjoy assembling a buffet or as we call it, an itty bitty tea! The meal out takes care of lunch.

No - you organise the day to suit your parents and those who want to attend will do!  I had this problem when I was in my 50th year, his brother asked if we had an alternative date - I knew that he usually went to a BBQ with 'friends' on that weekend and wanted to know where his loyalty was.  We found out!

Maybe have a couple of dates and let them know in good time?
