Birthday party on Father's Day?

[alleycat]

Good idea or bad idea? Think I would get a lot of declines? Party would be for both DD1 and DD2. Father's Day falls right in between their bdays.

We would decline.

I wouldn't do it. You will likely get poor turnout. I would also be annoyed that someone scheduled a birthday party on Father's Day Sunday. The day before would be better than that.

We had the same decision to make, DH said no way. We are doing it the following weekend.

[Philly Mom]

I would decline. DH would not like it.

Bad idea!

[alleycat]

DH said he didn't mind. I just figure the turnout would be bad. Only other dates is the last weekend in June. Guess I'll go with the last Saturday then. Tho turnout might still be bad since it's right after the last day of school and ppl might've left for vacation.

I wouldn't attend a party on Father's Day. The day before would be fine with us.

Will you have treats for Dads?

My birthday is on Father's Day...no party for me,

[Staraglimmer]

My DH would decline. If it was the child's actual birthday, I might go. However, I would never choose to have a party on Father's Day when so many people have plans. I don't think it's a good idea, honestly.

We wouldn't go. The day before would be fine though.

[mackmama]

Definitely no.

I think lots of people would decline. Saturday of Father's Day weekend would be ok, but not FD itself.

[SnuggleBuggles]

What about the weekend before or really any weekend before? No on FD.

[lmh2402]

Sat of FD weekend, yes. FD itself, no.

Sat of FD weekend, yes. FD itself, no.

True. I just went to a well attended birthday party tonight and tomorrow's Mother's Day.

[dcmom2b3]

We were invited to a child's birthday party today, Mothers' Day, and I declined w/o a second thought.

[MamaMolly]

We wouldn't go.

I have two kiddos with June birthdays and have always avoided throwing parties on Fathers' Day. This year DS3's birthday falls the Saturday before, and I am planning his party for his actual birthday. I figure most people have plans with family for Fathers' Day but Flag Day should be open.

I don't even think Father's Day weekend is a good idea. Sometimes people have to celebrate Father's Day/Mother's Day with both sides of the family and need Saturday to accomodate everyone's schedule. I would choose another weekend.

[daniele_ut]

We would not go. We generally don't attend birthday parties on Sunday anyway, but Father's Day would be a definite no.

[MommyofAmaya]

We just went to a wedding on Mother's Day and honestly weren't all that comfortable with it but it was a once in a lifetime event. No way on a kid's birthday party!

yesterday was DS birthday (double digits) and he was miserable! we could not get any of his friends to commit to coming to our house even just for cake. therefore I don't recommend you try to do a party on Father's Day if you don't have to. I think our attendance would be dependant on how well we knew the family, so some close, close friends may say yes, but mostly out of obligation.
