When is a cold not so contagious?

We're supposed to go to a friend's house tonight for the Super Bowl.  DD (3.5 months) got over a minor cold a few days ago - she had a cough and runny nose but never a fever.  Our friend's baby (10 months) had a cold the past few days.  I normally wouldn't be that concerned except the baby had a fever yesterday over 100 degrees, today she has no fever.  I'm not sure I want to risk taking our DD, especially since she was never sick with a fever.  When is a cold not as contagious?  Any opinions?  DH can go alone and I want to go but I won't be heartbroken, especially since I have to work tomorrow.

    Daycares and schools won't let kids back until they have been free of fever for 24 hours.  I'd stay away.

    I agree with PP.

    No fever for 24 hours.

    Same with if anyone has vomitting / diarrhea. Nothing for 24 hours, before they're considered "well".
