A bummer. Overprotective patents are so common these days that the term overprotective might even lose the *over* part. :-(
Why don't you do this: invite your friends to the dinner. Tell them your friends are as important to you as your family. If they argue, you ask them who do *they* think makes you more happy, parents that force you to have their dinner on your own birthday or friends that would do fun stuff that you like doing. If it all fails, you could either sit through the dull evening at the dinner table, or you could put up a big fight.
Or... Invite them to the beach. Tell them you want dinner on the beach. ;-)
Either way, if you let them get used to your submissiveness, they will push harder and harder (all 'in the interest of your own happiness').
Remember this, as well. Don't let them get at you before your birthday. If you get to go to the beach, don't let them give you any crap about it and spoil the evening. If they do, tell your friends and BF about it, so they won't feel awkward.

Compromise, have the family dinner the day before, or come back from the beach at night to have the family dinner. I don't know how far you are from the beach, but there has to be some kind of compromise that you both can live with, the key is to give a little and then get a little.

how old are you, if you are not the appropriate age for staying a whole week at the beach then you should try to consider going for just the day. but if not, try to work it out, maybe be you can do both. set a date for the dinner just to make your mom happy, and after that, go have your fun with your friends. if baby sitting is the issue, ask your grandparents to watch the baby, they can never say no .

If you want to eat truly healthy, lose body fat consistently, normalize your blood pressure, cholesterol levels, prevent cancer, and even boost your brain health and energy levels, you may have heard all over the news that the Paleo Diet has been found to be one of the best methods of achieving all of these benefits compared to any other popular "fad" diets out there. Go here https://bitly.im/aNESX
The truth is that the Paleo Diet will never be considered a fad because it's just simply the way that humans evolved to eat over approximately 2 million years. And eating in a similar fashion to our ancestors has been proven time and time again to offer amazing health benefits, including prevention of most diseases of civilization such as cancer, heart disease, alzheimers, and other chronic conditions that are mostly caused by poor diet and lifestyle. One of the biggest misunderstandings about the Paleo Diet is that it's a meat-eating diet, or a super low-carb diet. This is not true

I think you should go to ur grandparents place just for the day and the next day u could celebrate ur birthfay. Just be adult about it. I remember my mom did it and i just made dont know. In the end u will end up getting more respect ftom her than u know. Try it and if tou dont like it then the next time when the occassion rises, u know what to do

Oh, stay home and have the dinner. You can go to the beach after the baby is born. You shouldn't be out in the sun anyway.
