It’s DS’s fourth birthday party next week. We’re having it at a big soft play. Format is 90 mins of play followed by 30 mins of food in the party room. All pretty standard.
The party is between 11:00 - 13:00. It’s also the day of the rugby World Cup Final, which will probably finish around 11. We’re thinking of (after checking with the soft play) pushing the party back to 11:15. We would love to watch the whole game as I imagine a lot of the other parents would. This would mean the party would be 75 mins of play and then 30 mins of food. I have all the parents phone numbers so could let them know easily.
My thoughts are that the other parents would probably either be grateful or indifferent. And that if we keep it at 11 we’d get a lot of kids turning up 15 minutes late anyway. I’m just a bit worried people might see it as weird or rude. What would you think if your child was attending?! Be really grateful for thoughts.
