What should I do next time I host Christmas dinner. I invite 3 couples for dinner.
One says they have other plans. When dinner is ready, just as we get ready to sit down that couple shows up (on their way to another dinner). This was a NO win for me. I turned off the stove and told the others not to ask when is dinner ready. We all just stood around for 20 mins untill they left. Then I had to reheat the food. Any ideas?
How to handle rude (family) dinner guest?

you should talk to them and explain it is disrespectful to intrude on your home after they declined your invitation as it compromises your plans for the evening and raises the stress levels, perhaps say if they want to drink your alcohol before they go to their party then they should organise this with you because turning up unannounced is very inconsiderate
They are being very inconsiderate. I would not let them disrupt dinner for the other guests. Just say that you are just getting ready to sit down to dinner with your guests and that they are welcome to have a drink and sit with your but I would not let them ruin you and your guests dinner.
