its sort of their Simcha as well (Its my Simcha that I am paying, but its for someone close enough to them that its partly their simcha too that they should attend) so of course they are coming

What they usually do I think is go to the Affair, but dont eat (But the Baal Simcha still has to pay for the meal)

I do not want someone to come to my Affair and not eat, Its not fair to the Baal Simcha who has to pay, its not fair to the kids who have to smell the yummy food, See the candy and Cake and not Eat , Its not fair to the other guests who see someone not eating (This person is close enough that it WOULD be obvious) nobody like to be at a simcha and see someone not enjoying themselves and eating is part of that enjoyment.
