Saturday sounds like it will be very cathartic. I'd try to make sure your SIL and BIL do all the talking about your H, don't join in on any bitch fest. While they may be supportive of you, they may also say things to him that don't necessarily help your case even though they are said with the best of intentions.
Do the best you can to ensure they see you as being upbeat and positive, actions speak louder than words, so them saying how well you are coping will be far more powerful a message to your H.
When are you having another evening soirée? It didn't sound like a one off event and besides you said you'd work out how to deliver some of the food from the next one to me across the Internet.
