Writing prompt
What are your plans this weekend?Meeting Some Friends.
Open to any feedback
I will go to my wife's hometown, Daegu, this weekend. My wife and I am going to visit her friend with her other friends and their own partners. They are 4. They knew each other when they were high school students. It's been a while since they all met because one of her friends moved out of Korea last year and has been studying at a U.S. University graduate school. She returned to Korea for a while due to her brother's wedding, which will be held next weekend. The meeting will be very crowded but enjoyable.
My wife and I amare going to visit her friend with her other friends and their own partners.
I'm a bit confused by this. Why friend and other friends? You could just say 'visit her friends and their partners'. Is it one friend that doesn't have a partner? I would say that like: "My wife and I are going to visit her friends and their partners. One of the friends coming is single".
I meant this way because the place we'll visit is a house of one of my wife's friends. My wife and her friends are a group of 4, and they are all couples. My wife and 2 friends will go to one friend's house.
I see. The way I would say this is: “My wife’s high school friend is hosting their high school friend group at her house. She also invited plus ones so everyone’s partners are also going.”
TheyThere are 4 of them.

No change suggested
Saying 'very crowded' usually refers to hundreds or thousands of people, so this sounds unnatural to me. Perhaps instead: There will be a lot of people there but it will be enjoyable.

They are a group of 4 friends.
I'm not sure what 'They are 4' means exactly, so I guessed. Because of the context, I don't think the friends are 4 years old, but we say stuff like, "He's 3" or "She's 17" when calling about age. It could be confusing.
