Kids party

[LetItGooo]

When freedom day was scheduled to be in June, I booked space to have a party for my little girl as she has been desperate for a birthday party since before lock down and would love to invite her school friends.

Now it's been pushed back, the party is at the end of July, two weeks after restrictions are supposed to be eased. This means I would have to start handing out invitations now and she would know about it.

Would you plan ahead for the party and keep everything crossed or would you not bother and plan something else for this year to avoid any disappointment.

I keep changing my mind about what is the best thing to do as I know it would make her so happy after the rubbish year we have just had but I would hate for things to not go ahead and disappoint her. Also if your little one was invited to a party this year with people from their class, would you consider going or do you feel it is too soon?

Could you do an outdoor party? You’re allowed up to 30 outside and would avoid disappointment

If it is 2 weeks after restrictions may end, and we get 1 week's notice, that would be nearly 3 weeks before the party.
Wouldn't that be enough notice?
However it sounds like the party would be after the end of term so you'd need to accept some will be away.

If 3 weeks isn't enough notice, then could you contact parents of closer friends directly and pre-warn them, saying invites will only come out after opening is confirmed so as not to disappoint the children?

Agree with doing an outdoor party, or at least having an outdoor backup plan.
