Poor Katen :( Party woes
I don't think anyone is coming to Katen's birthday party. We invited her whole preschool class and most of them have said they're not coming. The rest haven't RSVP'd and the party is tomorrow night.
I'm so sad for her. I don't think she's a bad kid at preschool. She seems to be everyone's friend at school and everywhere else. I just feel awful.
On top of that, her family party is likely going to be cancelled for Saturday night because of weather. She was so looking forward to this weekend.
What would you do?

Re: Poor Katen :( Party woes
OMG, poor Katen!
I don't know what I would do. Reschedule maybe? Saturday parties are more the norm around here. Maybe that would work better? Are there a few people that said yes? If there are, I would go ahead with it.
Does she know? I am so sorry.
I asked her BFF's mom if she could come. She's not in her preschool class so at least there's one kid. Nobody else said yes.
Maybe it's me. I hope my kid isn't suffering because of me. That would suck.
I agree with taking her out somewhere special to make up for it if you cancel. But she is four. She is going to know that her party isn't happening. Maybe if you decide to go somewhere special she could take along a friend?
Oh no!
Could you call those who haven't RSVP'd to see if they're coming? Then if they're not maybe reschedule in a few weeks?
I agree with the PP, take her somewhere special tomorrow or Saturday. What about that Monkey Joe's place? Or that new hotel that has the water park inside of it? Ice skating or roller skating?
We took Conor to Incredible Pizza for his b.day. I wasn't a huge fan...and I'm not sure if a girl would like it. It was very arcade like with games and a go-cart track. NMS but DH, BIL and FIL had a blast.
Why would you think it was you? Don't even say that!!! It could just be the timing. We have a hard time getting everyone together for our kids birthdays in the summer because everyone is busy and away on vacations. I think there are going to be plenty of "creative" birthday celebrations for our kids...as in not typical parties because not many kids are around in the summer.
OMG poor Katen. That just stinks : ( I am sure it has nothing to do with how she is at school but just a bad coincidence of busy parents (it is crappy some have not RSVPed). I felt bad just having to RSVP no a a BD party for one of Katie's friends at school because we have a baptism that day.
I would try to take her some place fun and make sure you guys make a big deal with a cake and singing happy birthday.
Oh no! I don't think it is you or her
Friday night parties around here are tough. If one parent works, the other parent is potentially dealing with other (possibly older kids) and so often, people aren't available.
I agree with the other posters and would take her someplace special or try to reschedule it for another date. I am so sorry!!
OMG...poor Katen!! This just breaks my heart!!
Are you friendly with the parents? It could all just be timing you know?
I would call those who haven't rsvp and tell them you need a final head count. Do you have any family with children that can make it?
If you have to cancel, I would explain the weather is not going to permit her guests to come to the party, so instead we are going to do something even more special and take her out like others mentioned.
If you lived close, we would totally come to her party
After two losses, third time was a charm.

Awww
Did you say it is tomorrow night? If so, I would bet that is why people aren't coming. I think people just don't love night/dinner parties for kids. Can you reschedule for a Saturday or Sunday morning/afternoon? That is when everyone does kid parties around here.
Most just said they have a previous obligation. Maybe Friday nights just aren't good. I think some of the kids might be afraid of bounce houses too. (We have one in our basement and it's the theme of her party. :: Sigh :: Live and learn. Next time it will be an afternoon.
They're missing out. I'm making mommy mac.
