I wanted to initially have DD's party on 2/7, but I just realized that my DH has a previous engagement that evening. The party place only offers parties in the evenings. The next available Saturday is 2/14, Valentine's Day. Is it shitty to plan it for 2/14? We don't ever do anything for Valentine's Day, so I don't know how other people would feel. I wanted to avoid the last weekend in Jan because my friend will be out of town. What do you guys think?
We don't do anything for Valentine's Day so that part wouldn't bother me personally, but I imagine it would be an issue for many others. I wouldn't love that it's a Saturday night, but if it was a close family member or child's good friend, we'd go. I'd really try to avoid planning a party on a Saturday Valentine's Day though.
Most evening parties we've attended at venues have been on weeknights. I know the cost is substantially lower than a weekend afternoon, but it's hard with some parents' schedules.
BTW...DH's "previous engagement"...his monthly poker. I think he will just have to skip a month. They offer Friday parties, but they start at 6pm and that is pushing it for a lot of people.
Re: One more Bday party question...
I don't do Vday but others do. I would not do the evening.
Evening, you say?
Gah.
The more you know.
