Kate Middleton is turning 30 on Monday, so we've been eagerly anticipating her big shindig this weekend, but it sounds like Pippa Middleton and Prince Harry's plans have been thrown out.
The rumour mill was full of speculation this week about an 80s themed party, with karaoke and cocktails. Sounds right up our street, and perfect for a Duchess born in that decade.
It was thought Kate's sister, Pippa was arranging the do with the help of William's brother Harry. If we had a professional party planner for a sister, we'd want her in charge too. After all, Pippa's apparently getting £400,000 to write a book about how to be the perfect hostess.
However, it now looks like Kate will be having a quiet celebration, perhaps more fitting for a Duchess.
A St James's Palace spokesman said: "Whatever is planned will be low-key and private."

William is rostered to work from his base at RAF Valley in Anglesey next week, the Daily Mail reports, so that could also have had an influence on how Kate celebrates turning the big 3-0.
At least Kate will get to wear another fabulous outfit this weekend, as the Duchess of Cambridge is expected to attend the UK premiere of War Horse in London's Leicester Square on Sunday.
Kate was one of our best dressed stars of 2011, and she certainly knows how to wow on the red carpet. We're predicting she'll wear something floor-length and fabulous.
Stay tuned to omg! on Monday, as we celebrate Kate's birthday with lots of royal fun and frolics.
