I can't imagine sitting home just because DH is gone. His work schedule can be long and unpredictable - case in point, he called me two hours ago when I was at a meeting to tell me he got called in to deal with an emergency - and I wouldn't want to be sitting home just because he wasn't around! But I do know some people like that, mostly childless-by-choice couples or empty nesters, and I really don't get it. I understand enjoying spending time together, but if one spouse is otherwise occupied I don't get why the other should just sit at home and wait...
However, I agree with those who say it sounds like something about this party is less-than-appealing to the two women making excuses. The size or the format or whatever seems to be something they don't see as worth making an effort to attend.
