I would actually appreciate it as a guest if you explained it's going to be ungodly hot and would they prefer to come later in the day. I don't think you are being unreasonable. I would definitely invest in a LOT of ice for the guests.
As it's his work group, I don't think YOU need to be there for any of it (or you can stay to say 'hi' and then leave).

Actually, up here, I'd rather do noon than 6pm because 6 is when it is the absolute hottest. Do you have large fans? Set up a homemade swamp cooler with a fan and a block of ice. Or go buy some misters.
I think it makes sense to postpone it, but since that's not happening all you can do is make the best of the situation. What about having a few wash cloths in a bowl of water and ice? Those can be draped around necks to help stay cool.
It was OK cmeon , thanks. We mostly stayed inside and sweated. The patio was unbearable. We did go out there for maybe 15 mins. when the meat came off the grill but retreated to the house again. I was in a cold bath the moment they left, haha. High tomorrow is forecasted at 85. MUCH BETTER, though still too hot for no AC. Perhaps Target is in my future for tomorrow.
We must be near each other. It's been so hot!! We bought a portable AC for a couple hundred bucks and it's been a great investment. Still miserable but better!
