To not go to the party?

DS' (6) friends birthday is tomorrow and he's having an outdoors party/meet up at the park. It has pissed it down all day today and we're due more of the same tomorrow.

Would you want to go to the park in the rain, its not very enjoyable is it?

I'm wondering if IBU not to go on account of the weather. Would you?

It's a real shame for the birthday child if every body just drops out.
I agree with pp about contacting the mother to see if it's going ahead. They might be thinking about alternative arrangements if the forecast for tomorrow is that bad.

Ask them if it's still going ahead. if it is then go

We were invited to a child's birthday party and the weather seemed awful. In the morning the mum texted saying they're still going but understand if we want to give it a miss. We said we'd go if it's going ahead and it actually brightened up and was fine.

I’d still go, we are waterproof and kids don’t even really notice the weather once they are running around having fun. Plus I’d be devastated if nobody turned up to my child’s birthday party and I don’t think it’s fair to do that when you’ve agreed to go

I’d probably dig some wellies and waterproofs out and go for it.
