| My child attends a preschool where all the students and teachers are masked all day. Considering having a party and requesting everyone wear a mask. This will be an outdoor party. May hire entertainment. Haven’t gotten that far yet since we don’t even know if we will have the party. |

| Op here. Our neighborhood had an outdoor gathering and everyone wore a mask. It was really nice to catch up with some neighbors. |

| I did this summer. Will not do it again because in spite of promised mask wearing/social distancing/limited number of attendees, all promises were broken! My kids were not happy to be dragged home early. Honestly, I wasn't concerned about the other children, but there were a ton of adults there not complying. |

Op here. I would want 100% masks for the adults. Maybe this is a bad idea. |

And what will you do if someone does not comply? |

| People don’t like to follow rules when they believe they are amongst friends or acquaintances. It’s the same as when people say no gifts and people still bring gifts. Stores have enough issues with mask compliance to show people will not follow the rules even if they provide their children with a mask during the day. |

| I think it can work if it is well planned and expectations are laid out upfront, ideally on the invite. |

| Will you serve food? If food is served, people take off their masks to eat/drink, and are not always so great at putting them back on. |

Yes, we did. Backyard patio. 21 total people, all family members. All wore masks, face shields or a combo. 3 tables with gloves, hand sanitizer available on each one. Individual drinks, plastic serving ware.
Was pretty worried at first but it's been over a month and we're all good to go so plan on having a Halloween get together doing the same. |
