Success after IF

Birthday Dilemma

DH just started a new job and tonight they drafted their shifts for May. He went in reminding himself not to draft the boys birthday day or their party, however, he had the day they were born in his head, Thursday, which made their birthday party day Saturday. The boys birthday is on Friday and their party is on Sunday. He is going to see what he can do, but he is the new guy. I've suggested canceling the party and rescheduling it for a Saturday since he now has Saturdays off this month. I would be out $75 but I would get $50 back (our cost for rent was $125). His concern is the invites are already done and ready to go in the mail. I figured I would send them out, but with a change of date attached. That might seem tacky, but the invites turned out really cute for my little super hero's. I am not really sure the point of this post, but what would you do. He is upset and I am sad that he is going to miss it if he can't find someone to pick up his shift that day. :(

  • How big is your guest list? Too big to personally call everyone and change the date, if he can't find someone to switch with? I bet there's at least one person who would rather work Sat than Sun. 

    But if he can't, you could just let everyone know by phone, then the Friday before, send out an email that says "looking forward to seeing you on SUNDAY!"

  • Thanks ladies. I had suggested seeing if someone would switch days, but he was hesitant to do so because he is new. After some thought he is going to see if someone will switch. If no one is willing to switch than we will go from there.
