How do I cancel plans without seeming like a complete dick

Alright so here the story, my best friend,Jessica, and I haven’t seen each other in like 5 months she lives about 3 hrs away from me. So last month we where talking and plans where made for us to hang out in Philadelphia. The plan was since she lives close to the city she was gonna meet me and my husband at the art museum, we where gonna drop acid explore the city and then she was gonna go home and we where gonna go to a hotel. We can’t stay at her house because she live with her mom. The first issue was my husband doesn’t really like her they just don’t get alone. I really didn’t wanna go alone because that’s a long drive and I didnt want to stay in a hotel by myself. my friend works the next day so she wants to go home that night.

So my husband agreed to go with me on one condition, that he could invite his friend Stan to come. Stan wanted to bring his friend Mary. This made everything complicated because then Jessica didn’t want to go because she didn’t want to trip with other people. My husband jack told his friends this and then they didn’t want her to go. At this point I didn’t even wanna go anymore. It was becoming way to much drama. I just wanted a fun night out with my husband because we never go anywhere and it was becoming a headache.

On Monday my husband told me Stan lost his job. So we both assumed he wasn’t going to be going anymore and it was a relief to both of us. So jack asked me if I could un invite Jessica and I told him I would try. I texted her about jacks friends most likely not coming and she was happy said that with just the 3 of us it would be a fun nigh. I hinted at the fact that i wanted it to just be me and jack but she didn’t pick up on that.

Then today Stan asked me if I booked the hotel yet I in fact did book one but not the one we agreed on, I booked a room with a king bed and a jacuzzi bathtub. But I didn’t say that I just told him I didn’t book one yet thinking he would just say not to because he couldn’t afford to go. But of course he told me to hurry up and book it before it was to late. I didn’t know what to say at that point and now I’m just stuck. I don’t want to be a dick but I also really just want to spend the weekend with my husband but I know if I tell them that there gonna have an issue because it was already planned.

To;dr me and my husband made plans with a group of friends to trip on acid and explore the city next weekend. I don’t want them to go anymore, I just want it to be me and my husband. How do I nicely tell them not to go and basically ditch them without them getting butthurt.
