I wouldn'y worry about Carlos. He's given himself a legit out so if he's too weirded out about meeting your friends en masse he can skip it. However, if he jumps on a train and comes back just to attend, he's less commitment phobic than he says.
Funny but with M it's the same thing. I've met his dad and sister and lots of his friends but the first time he met any of my friends was at the open house party of a friend's legal firm last week, and we've been together, exclusively, for 5 months. My mom and brother arrived in Tucson this past weekend and are staying the winter so they'll meet him soon and I am nervous about that. My friends won't say anything negative even if they think the guy is a dork, but my mom and brother will just blab away, no brain to mouth filter on either of them. So I have to decide when I"M ready for them to meet him. I guess it makes the relationship more serious in my own mind when the guy meets my family and I'm comfortable with the way things are now without a lot of future expectations, just one day at a time. He's met my kids and that was a big step, but it was also more here's mom's friend M. And my boys are totally on board with the "it doesn't mean mom's marrying the guy just because we've met him" thing.
Have fun at the party, don't stress about Carlos. No wasting time wondering if he'll show.

I would probably freak too - so I am afraid I am of no help. But he sounds so neat they will probably all drool and be happy for you. And it sounds from what you say that he is going to give it a try to come. And maybe it will calm his silly nerves to see what nice friends you have?

And we will have a story!!

So good luck and do keep us posted!!
