My daughter took her invitations to school yesterday for her party (mid December). Got them out nice and early cos of Christmas, end of term and also because we don't really know anyone or when their birthdays are etc. as we moved areas/schools earlier this year. DD came out of school saying it was also 1 of her friends parties that day but she thought it was a different time. Later on, the mother phoned and it is an exact clash of times. She had already phoned her venue and they cannot shift it. I am waiting for a call back from our organiser to see if she has any alternative slots (which I doubt at this time of year). I am really cheesed off about the whole thing .. DD has had a tough year and finds it really difficult to make friends as she has SEN. Soon after we arrived at school, I invited a few girls round for a tea party and only 1 came because it turned out to be someone elses party.
What would people do if I can't change our day. I am only trying to do this because I fear because we are new that children will choose to go to the other party (my DD is rather difficult at times) and we will be left with a party and no children.
