Guests invited to Michelle Obama's 50th birthday bash were asked to eat before they came to the White House, it has been revealed.
The First Lady, who is planning a big blow out for her party with drinks and dancing, had invites which instructed the guests to eat beforehand.
Entertaining expert Colin Cowie told the Washington Post about the possible Obama faux pas, saying to ask people to eat before you come is not the way he would have done it.
The backlash might be stronger than anticipated for a party Michelle has said is going to include some of her trademark dance moves, like "The Dougie."
Cowie said that he always thinks of food when it comes to making people feel welcome, by giving them great music, a well-stocked bar and excellent food.
