[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You attend the first invite you ACCEPTED and you politely decline all others. [/quote]

I agree with this... except if the party is a drive away and other invitations are within walking distance. I will always pick the no-driving-through-the-city-on-Halloween option, and I think others would understand -- at least I do -- if you go back and say "I didn't think about it at first, but I hate being on the road on Halloween (people walking in the road, running across the street without looking, drunk drivers). Could we make plans another time instead?"[/quote]

If you "always pick" this option then you shouldn't have accepted it in the first place because you clearly would have "thought about it at first."  [b]Don't invitation shop[/b].[/quote]

Hard agree.  And if you decide to cancel then one should state plainily that they ar e cancelling. Not vaguely allude to it and leave it to others to figure out. [/quote]

PP here. I misread OP's original situation. I would politely decline a party on Halloween from the get-go if it wasn't nearby. Party or playdate on the weekend and ToT with friends who live in or will come to our neighborhood would be fine. My neighborhood is really fun on Halloween and my kids don't want to miss out on it anyway.[/quote]
