writes:I am 27 years old. My gran and granddad have organized a meal out for my granddad’s birthday that is happening this weekend. They have invited the family plus a couple of their friends. My mum, dad and myself noticed that my girlfriend has not been invited (I have been seeing her for 15 months now and we are in love). My dad asked my gran if my girlfriend can come along for the meal and even offered to pay for her (which I wouldn’t mind doing) and she said no because its ‘just family’ plus two of my cousins (both just 16 years old) that are seeing someone aren’t bringing their boyfriends. What would you do? I need advice.

 Hey sweet,
It is your Grandfather's birthday, so just respect his wishes and keep it family only. Don't get too offended by the fact that he'd like just the family, it is his birthday after all! He can do whatever he'd like on his special day.
Have your girlfriend sign the birthday card so that your Grandpa knows that she sends her birthday wishes as well!

 Just go on your own, cousins partners aren't going, so its nothing personal, just a family thing.

Maybe they have something they want to tell you all with out any "outsiders" as such been there!!
Don't ruin the nite for your grandad or gran by saying anything - maybe your g/f can join you all after the meal for a drink or what ever? I'm sure you could come to a comprimise that way?
