I'm shocked no one responded to this an earlier. I suppose the party has already taken place, but for future reference you are 23 years old if I am not mistaken. It sounds like you come from a very controlling family and those are often very difficult to break free from even for just a day or two, especially if you live under their roof. But don't dump them, family is everything. Since it is your niece I would go but there is no reason why you should be guilt tricked into anything. At this point of your life, when it comes to how you spend your own personal time, a yes from you or a no from you is your own right. They do not have to agree with you, but it is only fair they respect your decision. Eventually you will have to live your own life and if you never lived for you, you will forever look back on your years and be dissatisfied. It sounds like a cliché but don't over look it.
