Help me make an offer she can't refuse!

My sister's BF is proposing to her on Thursday (their dating anniversary)...here is the beginnings of the plan: BF is telling sister he has an appt and won't be home til 7ish. We have to somehow convince her to come to my parents house where the proposal will happen.

Complication- she comes to my parents house every Friday so a simple hey we have something for you can you come get it probably won't work.

We are screwed if we can't convince her to come and BF isn't being very helpful/won't help us lure her there.

Ideas?

Hmm... is there anything she would be helpful at that your parents could legitimately need help with? Computer issues, a craft, etc? Or could they ask to borrow something for dinner that night like sugar, milk, etc? I assume she lives close enough but maybe that's not reasonable?

Or could your parents be "busy" this particular Fri night and want to see her Thu?

 I like this idea. Your parents have plans on Friday so they would like to see her on Thursday instead.

Oh! Or since he won't be home until late, does she want to have dinner with them? I suppose that leaves a lot of room for a no, but maybe?

Help her plan some kind of surprise for your parents (fake of course) only she gets there and joke's on her and it's really her night

I think we are definitely saying they are "busy" Friday. My mom is thinking of telling her she has a present for them for their anniversary that she wants them to have and asking her to come pick it up Thursday since they are busy Friday.

I think this is a great idea!
