Eat before you come to my birthday party: Michelle Obama to her guests

Michelle Obama has asked guests attending her 50th birthday bash at the White House next week to wear comfortable shoes practice their dance moves and eat before coming to the party as there will be no meal provided.

In a save-the-date email guests have been advised to dine before coming to the 'Snacks and Sips and Dancing and Dessert' party on January 18.

Michelle's actual birthday is on January 17 and she is currently enjoying President Barack Obama's gift - an extended vacation in Hawaii. The First Lady will celebrate the milestone birthday at the White House.

Michelle does not want to mess around with food at her 50th birthday party and therefore guests have been instructed to eat before they arrive at the White House, the New York Daily News reported.

The coterie of invitees received the email for the event, with strict guidelines to wear comfortable shoes, practice their dance moves and arrive with a full stomach a directive that has left some etiquette experts scratching their heads.

Michelle hinted about her birthday plans during last month's visit to a children's hospital, when a girl asked her about her big day. "It might involve some dancing," she told the girl. "A little Dougie."

The Dougie, a hip-hop dance, was one of the moves The First Lady performed on "Late Night with Jimmy Fallon".

"I don't think it's rude, but I do think it's a little ... different," Lizzie Post, great-great-granddaughter of Emily Post, told the Washington Post.

"I've never seen it said straight out. That is definitely new," said Washington area party planner Andre Wells. Continue after the cut....

On Dec. 19, Middleton's private messages from Prince William, her then-boyfriend, in 2006 were played in the court room.

"Babykins, just tried ringing you, hope you're alright," William said in one message. 

This is the first time it's been confirmed that Middleton's phone was hacked by News of the World. Another message reveals he nearly got shot during his officer training at Sandhurst in 2006.
