    You could get a fork , and fork out any bits of roots that you can see.   I suspect a lot would be regrowing a two weeks.

    I'd roll it flat and say nothing. Your guests won't have come to see the grass. Just brazen it out. If it rains, No one will want to go out anyway. If you have a marquee, who's going to look at the ground ?

    I wouldn’t be holding a party on a newly turfed lawn 😧. Even if it was ready to turf next weekend (which it won’t be) it’ll not be ready to use for weeks … it’s not like laying a carpet 😉

    You could cover it in plastic sheeting and then put towels down for the kids to sit on perhaps? Then make a decent lawn in Autumn.

    Yes, Dove is right,you can't walk etc in new lawn,if you are in the UK, wrong time to lay one anyway. How old is the birthday girl,I was going to saytarp couple of pots

    Can’t quite work out how big the area is, but any chance you could get hold of some old carpet? Would help to suppress the weeds while it’s down, and can go to the tip when you’re ready to put the new lawn down.

    Your only hope in such a short time frame if you want grass -- Hire it
