Quiver0f10 Posted April 17, 2012 Share Posted April 17, 2012 We want to have a party and the only day that works timing wise is the 13th but that's also Mother's day. yes or no? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QueenCat Posted April 17, 2012 Share Posted April 17, 2012 It would all depend on who I was inviting... if it were people likely to be doing their own family things, no. If it were mostly, family, yes, as a combo Mothers Day celebration and whatever the party is for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tap Posted April 17, 2012 Share Posted April 17, 2012 Depends on the demographics and the time of day. Dd13 has been invited on a trip to Great Wolf Lodge for that weekend, and I am fine with it. She will get home early Sunday afternoon. We can have time together then. I think it would be hard to have a mid-day party for kids. Most kids have mothers that they live with. I think fewer people would commit, thinking that it will interupt the day too much. If it is for adults, I would put feelers out with the group. I know a lot of adults who do little to nothing on the holiday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starr Posted April 17, 2012 Share Posted April 17, 2012 Is it a familiy party? If so, yes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not a a Mother's Day party nor a kids party but mixed ages would be invited. We were thinking 2-6pm. I just feel that most people will be spending their day with their families so another day would be better. It's just that the timing doesn't work for another day either. Time for a plan B. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Catwoman Posted April 17, 2012 Share Posted April 17, 2012 No. I wouldn't do it. It's a day when many people have other plans, and I think it would be awkward to ask them to choose between attending your party and their own family obligations and plans.

Quiver0f10 Posted April 17, 2012 Author Share Posted April 17, 2012 Is it a familiy party? If so, yes. Well most of the people we would invite are not our family. We don't have any family local to us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just wanted to see what the hive thought. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starr Posted April 17, 2012 Share Posted April 17, 2012 I mean yes if you are inviting whole families. We would think it was fun for our family to go to a party on Mother's or Father's Day. Really, no one has to cook, no going out to crowded restraunts, perfect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Catwoman Posted April 17, 2012 Share Posted April 17, 2012 I agree. I just wanted to see what the hive thought. I was trying to figure out a way to say that it would be a good idea, but I couldn't come up with anything. :tongue_smilie: It's such a pain when the only good day for a party is also a bad day. I was once invited to a wedding on Christmas Eve. Ummm... no. :glare: Compared to that, Mother's Day is a much better choice! :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NanceXToo Posted April 17, 2012 Share Posted April 17, 2012 Nope, or any other holiday/occasion unless it were a party specifically FOR said holiday/occasion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
