Thread: Party date?

Tweet

One more vote for change the date. Good luck deciding! I'd be happy to help you with anything I can!
Not there's a lot I can do, but let me know!

Will your friend be out of town for unavoidable reasons or just for a getaway? Did he ask for you to change the date as he did last year? I don't know, but it sounds like changing the date would be somewhat inconvenient. I know you would like for your friend to be there but things come up. If you think that the majority of your guests will be able to attend on the original date, I say stick with it.

We're having our Halloween Party (1st party!) on the 17th to accommodate the most people possible. We took a census of what date was good for everyone (Either the 17th or the 24th), and more people were leaning towards the 17th.

I agree, I'd change the date. but with halloween being a saturday this year, why not on Halloween? ask your guests and get the best date. it's no fun when your friends aren't there!

So FG....what did you decide to do?

Yes Frankie- what did you decide?

We're doing the 31st. We live where there are virtually no TOT'ers, and our party is adult and starts at 7:30. Most folks with young kids like to do the daylight hours/neighborhood things anyway, and they are all over by 7 at the latest...

Really? I don't recall ever going trick or treating in the daylight. My mom always made us wait until the sun went down! It was like torture!! LOL

I live in a tiny town that has only 2 "subdivision" type neighborhoods. The rest are individual homes, all nestled back into wooded lots, lots of space in between. So the neighborhood subdivisions are the gold mines for the TOT's. The police usually park there to keep an eye on things but they request, if not enforce that it is over after dark.

Different life in a rural town with a population of 3000.....!

I agree with Super Freak. I would also change the date. This year I wasn't sure what day to do my party and I asked around and came up with a date where most people could come and I'm glad I did. You're going to remember the party and the fun you had with your friends....not the date you had it. I would change it to the 17th or the 30th. If you do it the 30th I would take that extra week and try to get as much done ahead of time.
