Friend related WWYD
I'm getting together with two university friends next week. We've had to reschedule a few times, most recently because my grandfather passed away. This will also serve as a bit of a stand in celebratory dinner, as one friend is getting married (P) and the neither myself or the other girl (G) can make it to her bachelorette this weekend.
G emails last night to ask if it's okay if she invited her friend along. We know her from being in G's wedding together, she's great, we all get along. BUT I wanted to tell them about my pregnancy. I know they'll want to talk about IVF etc, and I'm just not comfortable doing that in front of friend.
ETA: G lives about an hour and a half away and we all meet half way. Her friend lives near here, so that's another factor. She mentioned that she was supposed to meet up with friend and obviously it's a bit of a hike for her, so that's part of why I feel bad. Then again, they are both off work for the entire summer, so it's not like they have super busy schedules.
So what do I do?
A) Nothing - say yes, so I don't seem rude
Tell them that I was really looking forward to just the three of us, that it's been a while and then explain why after I break the news
C) None of above, provide your own advice
Thanks ladies!

Since it is a celebration for P and not G, then I would go with option B. I would also break the news ASAP when you get together, so they aren't left wondering or feeling upset.
When you say you hope it will be just the 3 of you, could you add "I've got something special planned for us?" Then they know there is a specific reason, just not what it is?
I'm with Danielle on this. If you state that you have something planned, then they won't think (ew why is she being like that?!)
B - I'm sure when you tell them your news they will understand why you asked to keep it to the 3 of you.
Have a great celebratory GTG!
