WWPD?

Jane's b-day is Friday Set 10th. I had planned on having her party Sat Sept 11th but just got an invite in the mail for a wedding celebration bbq the same day (they had a destination wedding) from 2:30 - ? Many of the same friends we would invite to DD's bday are also going to be invited to this party-so that is a problem. The following Sunday 9/12 is out b/c it is the Bills home-opener and we are going.

Sooooooo

would you-

have her party Friday night- even though her bedtime is 7:30 and she is a mess if she stays up late

have it from like 11-3 on Saturday and not worry about the overlap and just hope your friends will come to both (or is that rude to do to the wedding couple?)

have it the weekend prior, knowing that it is Labor Day weekend and that most of your friends and family have other plans

cancel the idea of a big party, have a small family party whenever you feel like it and pout to your DH about it until you drive him crazy

    What about the following weekend-is that the 18th? I'd feel rushed/weird if I had friends w/ overlapping parties. That's bound to get someone's feelings hurt. And yes, it is rude to do that to the wedding couple, IMHO.

    I'd either do it the 18th or Labor Day weekend.

    Do something fun on the day of her actual birthday party and then plan to have her party the next weekend after 9/11.

    yeah, what about the next weekend?  I'd probably do that - although, that said, we did Jackson's 1st bday the weekend before his bday.

    OH and my bday is September 10th.  Clearly, the best day ever.

    I guess my only concern is that we wanted to have an outside party and I am worried about the weather as we get later into Sept...I feel like I am already cuting it close for an outdoor party on the weekend I had planned......

    I don't see much wrong with having a noon-ish party  - but end at 2 rather than overlap.  I'd just call the newlyweds and let them know that's what you planned and (as wrong as it may be) I'd act like I already had the invites printed. As long as you're upfront with them, it's not like they will flip out over the phone - they can't claim the whole day anyhow.
