To think there MAY be a chance of a garden party in April

[JenIsAGem]

Sons first birthday end of April, AIBU to think there may be a chance we could have a family get together in our garden?

YABU - absolutely no chance!
YANBU - possibly?

I would think there's a chance.

How many people?

I think there's quite a good chance actually

@ineedaholidaynow

How many people?

Around 20-30 people in a medium/large garden Our household is 7 people including DS

I think it may still be the rule of 6 in April.

I think there is a good chance (weather permitting) but not as big as you’ve suggested.

Think that will be too many

It will be a rule of 6 situation for a while I expect (at least until a much larger % of the population is vaccinated) and quite right.

I think it's unlikely. Why not wait. Let's face it, it isn't a party for your 1 year old as they will have no idea what's going on. Even if it is 'allowed' why would you want to increase risks for the 20-30 people you are closest too?

Might be a chance for 6 people or 2 households or something like that... but I don’t think any more than that, sorry.

No definitely not and why would you even want to put people at risk for a one year old that won’t even benefit from it.

A rule of 6 or 2 households, very possibly.

20-30? Not unless we want a rerun of January.

No definitely not and why would you even want to put people at risk for a one year old that won’t even benefit from it.

Because the other people would also benefit from it. My family are desperate to.see my almost 1 yo

OP I think we my be up to rule of six, or two households if we are lucky. I doubt they will allow large gatherings so early except perhaps weddings and funerals.

YABU

I think numbers at private gatherings will still be limited

Millions of people haven’t been able to celebrate milestones for almost a year, you’re no different. Thank goodness your child is a baby so don’t know or care

YABU. If it is allowed, it will be the rule of 6 - there’s no way you’ll be able to have anywhere near that many people.

Around 20-30 people = no chance
Rule of 6 or 2 households = more likely
Up to 15 = a chance

Even if it is 'allowed' why would you want to increase risks for the 20-30 people you are closest too?

If it's allowed, OP won't be increasing the risks for 20-30 people. I'm sure a number of family members will be vaccinated and for any that aren't, they will be increasing their risk if they choose to attend. OP won't be to blame - her family members also have agency.

I agree, rule of 6 is likely to be in force. I am doubtful of my wedding going ahead in October for 40 people, let alone 20-30 people in April!

No rule of 6 will be in place

I'd say you'll be able to have some sort of outdoor gathering but maybe not as many as you would like. You could always do two on separate days I suppose?

YANBU a garden gathering might be possible.

YABU 20-30 never gonna happen

They'll probably have rule of 6 or something like it. I don't think 20-30 people will be allowed to meet outdoors until at least much later in the Summer/ Autumn, if at all this year

I'd guess 6 people/2 households.

I’m desperate for something for my baby’s end of March first birthday.

Our families have missed his entire first year.

Another vote for definitely possible but very doubtful for that many people
