I just have visions of 12 people all rolling up into the FLounge. I doubt that you'd even be able to sit together these days - I find it hard enough for two on occasions. People have a tendency to spread themselves and almost mark their territory I think that you'll need to give this a miss or tell them that you' and your wife will meet them at the gate - I would never go that route as I'd keep us together as a party. You have done well to get their seats allocated.
