First birthday rain out

I'm sorry. I had to come somewhere and vent. I was so excited for LO 1st bday party tomorrow. Spent a ton of money, worked hard making decorations, planning everything. Making sure there was enough food, booze, music, things to do, etc etc. I was so happy to throw a party and get everyone together on a beautiful May Day before the summer. Well tomorrow is forecasted to be the worst day thus month. I'm heart broken. I know I shouldn't take it so hard, but we have a condo so no room in our house. The party is down at the pool house, which is only semi covered. Just going to be stormy and hot and awful and I don't even know how to deal with it. I had made the rain date Sunday, but my mom whined that it was Mother's Day so I shouldn't mess with people's plans.

Gosh I know this us so petty and small. There could be a million things worse than this. But I am just so upset. I needed to vent because no one else wants to hear it.

    That's too bad. I'm so sorry. Mother Nature has been wrecking havoc this year already it seems like.
    We were at84 last Tuesday. Then Wednesday morning we were at 35 with snow.
    I really hope it will turn out at least decent for your party time!
    Ours is tomorrow as well, and since our weather has been hit or miss here so I just planned in everything being indoors. It'll be a tight squeeze in our house, but heck, we're family. We can sit close to each other lol.
    Let us know how it goes!

    I know exactly how you feel! DS's party is tomorrow too and it's been nice all week and nice all next week with tomorrow being crazy windy and cold. We built a deck a few weeks ago planning on having his party outside and wel'll most likely be inside.

    We have the same thing :( But we can't push back at all b/c we will be inducing next week. Any chance you live in Texas, or Houston more specifically?

    No, Philly suburbs. It's a disaster out there. We had two weeks of the most gorgeous weather. It's just raining, and will all day! Good luck to everyone with their parties, I hope I can salvage this somehow.

    That sucks. I hope things work out for you! 

    Our plan A is to have it at a park that has a covered pavilion. If its only drizzling we are ok but since its on the lake if its really stormy that won't work. It's actually the same place we had our wedding. I didn't book it this time so if someone is using the pavilion we can either share it or just wait until they leave.

     Plan B is to have it in my tiny little townhouse. It will be cozy but I think we can manage. People just may have to sit on the floor lol. 

    We planned short and low key on purpose and its only family anyway so I can move it an hour that day if I need to or change locations at the last minute, I can.

    my parents own a bed and breakfast on a lot of property.  2 years ago they had a huge bonfire bash with friends and family from all over the country flying in for it.  It was an all weekend event, all planned outside.  Well, it rained cats and dogs the entire weekend! And guess what!  Everyone still had an amazing time!!  We ate, we drank, we still got to chat and be together and enjoy, even with crappy cold weather.  It will be fine, I promise.  Just focus on the true meaning of the party, and everything else will fall into place :)

    I'm in the Philly burbs, too, small world! And yes, the weather has been awful since last night. But I agree with PP that you can still have an awesome time- your friends and family just want to celebrate your LO and you can still do that in close quarters. Our party is Memorial Day weekend and I won't be happy if it rains either, but don't let it ruin your mood! Good luck.

    Same thing here in NY.  I checked with my guests and everyone was cool with me pushing it back to Mother's Day.  I was suprised with some of my family who suggested it themselves.  I had no alternative as I did it at a reserved park space and my backup was 35 people in a 1000 sqft apt.

    I hope it worked out alright for you guys.
