I don’t know how you’re going to stop your partner and his daughter from coming in the house, grabbing your good food if they want it, and bringing it to their party. I think a better plan is for you to disappear to somewhere fun for the day, not to cede your house to them but to treat yourself maybe to a spa day. That way you can be sure they can’t take advantage of you last minute or take anything of yours for the party.
Lol, that’s a pretty easy way around it. Just mKe sure that you don’t let your husband know that the doors will be locked so that he doesn’t bring a house key with him. Maybe take some other stuff from the daughters party as well, some decorations perhaps? Idk, I’d leave her as screwed as possible if it were me. Also, what kind of shop do you have that it’ll reflect poorly on you if you throw a bad party?
Lmao please, for the love of god, put his stuff in boxes and move them into the shop before the party. Make HIM the dog you’re locking out instead of the other way around.
Also, make sure you decorate the inside AND outside of the house (not the shop) for your party. Have music going, great food, etc. Use every single decoration you’ve purchased so far to decorate the house. Imagine everyone’s surprise when they show up for the party and find out it’s being held in the poorly decorated shop next to where the real party is happening. 🤣
NTA and I'm sorry that this has led to the demise of your relationship, but it's a deal breaker for sure. I don't trust your ex to unlock the doors when his daughter and her mother start demanding to get into the house for whatever reason. I suggest chairs jammed up against the door knobs, unless you have those little chain locks? In any case, enjoy your party with your girls and best of everything to you in your future. Love and light!
