Friday morning.
I have one kid and Shabbos can get boring. Sometimes I'll invite myself to my inlaws or they will invite us.
One week I decided to make Shabbos Thursday night, I baked cookies, made the chicken, dips, etc. My FiL asked if we wanted to come for Shabbos I responded I already cooked chicken. He told me to bring it along - so I did!
It was nice! They live locally but we don't have an Eiruv so it's a change of scenery. We show up right before Shabbos too and it's easy to pack a change of clothes for everyone and a few extras. We go ready for Shabbos so it's easier

Definitely don't go OP! You have no obligation on such short notice.

This is so far from my life experience. But I guess Thursday.

The question is hypothetical to me as I don't recall ever being invited to stay with anyone for the whole of Shabbos.
I guess up until a point on Friday where I still had the time to pack our stuff. In the summer that would be fairly late on Friday. I'm often exhausted on Fridays and if I felt I couldn't face company that eve, I'd decline. Otherwise I'd accept. It's not so much about what preps I would have done. I've often been invited out for meals after having prepared the food myself already. Generally I'm really happy then as I can freeze the food and don't have to cook next week.

Thanks for reading between the lines  We're hardly ever invited out so when we are, I want it to be a full break for me, not cook plus pack plus deal with kids in a different environment. Lemme have a cooking break at least. Once some of it is done, it's no thankyouI'llratherstayhome.

OP would it be okay to ask the people who invited you this week if you could come next week instead?
