Thread: My party has been cancelled

Tweet

Unfortunately I have had to cancel my Halloween party this year. I had been on the fence about having it for a couple of weeks and finally over the weekend I made the decision to cancel. A lot of things factored into my decision such as money, time and health. I hope to put up a few decorations this year and then be back bigger than ever for next year! Until then, I'll live vicariously through all of your parties! Please post lots of pics!

I recall one year when we just didn't send out invitations and laid low from hosting a party. SO many things were colliding in our lives - family and health issues, finances (well - that is always a consideration anyway...) Sometimes it helps to take a break from a big event that you feel so responsible to handle - and just focus on what really matters in life. YOU! I say - enjoy the well-deserved R&R - and look ahead to next year. Isn't that what we all do anyway - I'm already thinking of 2012 thanks to this forum!! Be well . That is the main thing. . .

I'm sorry you had to cancel your party. I hope that everything turns out well for you!

I feel your pain. I cancelled my haunted house this yr. Hopefully we can both come back next yr with a big bang and be better than ever

Ditto on the coming back bigger and better!!! Had to cancel mine as well. We'll catch up next year!!! I can feel it!!

I'm so sorry you had to cancel, but if you've got things that have to take priority, you're making the right decision.

There's nothing wrong with taking the year off if you need it, and that doesn't mean you're canceling Halloween - you do what you can to enjoy.

Hallow again and so sorry that you have all had to cancel. Seems that so many are unable to do their haunts at the same level this year - for so many reasons. If anyone is near Sharonville, Ohio - and wants to join us - the Veelcome Mat is out and the door is always open - and creaking . . . It may be tame compared to some - but the invitation is there. . . BOO!

I have had to go without a party now since 2006 and I feel like I'll never get to have another. Had no funds or a place in 2007, tried to do an office halloween party in 2008 but no one would commit to coming so I cancelled, had to cancel doing one this year because the daughter and grandbaby live with me and she's 1. not into halloween 2. afraid it would upset the grandbaby and 3. Want to throw me a regular party.

I'm hoping for next year...sigh!...I am having withdrawals

Keep your chin up and do something for yourself for Halloween...haunted house, check for clubs/restaurants that have halloween parties and attend one.

Thanks for the well wishes everyone! I am actually kind of relieved now that I've made the decision to cancel. It had been stressing me out so much the last month worrying about what to do. To everyone else that has had to cancel their parties for various reasons - my heart goes out to you! It was a tough decision for me to make!

Sorry that you had to cancel. this will be our second annual party and I am already stressed as the word is getting out. And think of it this way you will have a head start on all of us for next year.
