This is the first year my son wants a party. The problem is now the invites have gone out we realised it is also the same day of one of his friends birthdays and the other parent had got their invites out first so a lot of people are replying that they can't make it. Has this ever happened to you and what did you do? I don't want my son to be disappointment so should I cancel everything and go for something low key with family or go for it? We had hired a bouncy castle. DS is youngest grandchild on both sides of family and other family members who have children their children are all teenagers and our friends are only starting to get pregnant or have just had babies recently.
