Say something like, "I know you're really excited about the possibility of going to Walt Disney world together but after talking to my husband, we decided that we wanted to go as a family. I'm really sorry if this is disappointing to you but maybe another time down the road would work."
And leave it at that. She doesn't need to know about the other family. It's not her business. But likewise how she feels is her business not yours!! She is responsible for her feelings and you are responsible for yours! If she feels bad, let her and let it go! It's not a reflection of your character! If she tries to throw guilt and shame on you, don't take it! Set a boundary and don't listen to it! This is YOUR dream and YOUR husband's dream! You need to protect it! What is more important? Having an upset friend who treats you bad? Or hurting the ones you love? Life is TOO short to try and please everybody all the time! That's no way to live, plus it's impossible! Life the life given to you and your family! Your kids won't be around forever!! I know it's hard but some things are worth protecting!

I grew up being the youngest baby and also the in hardship-free words female so I understand mothers and fathers being overprotective! in the journey that they are allowing you to flow, extremely so quickly on your sister's wedding ceremony then flow for it and enable loose! have a stunning good time! purely imagine of it this kind, at the same time as will you've this chance again? you do not decide on to look again years from now wishing you've got lengthy previous. in case you sense uncomfortable or have a foul feeling, then do not flow. Butttt, in the journey that your mothers and fathers are superb with it and also you sense tender, i do not see why not. purely be responsible, you look previous adequate, yet nonetheless use the chum gadget. have interesting!

Be honest, tell her that your husband and kids would rather cut off their noses than have to spend their vacation listening to her kids have fits!!! Seriously, just tell her that your husband wants to keep it only family, good luck!

just tell her the truth , you did tell her that you would have to talk to your husband about it. just tell her that your sorry that she got the wrong information, but your husband wants to spend time alone with his family and no one else. and maybe another time, and hopefully she will understand. good luck.

Tell them you're having a money crisis and can't afford it.
Or that you have an urgent business trip/funeral to go to during that time
