[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Weird I’m surprised you’re getting so much support.  This event sounds pretty big - parents from both sides planning to come in from out of town, multiple local families attending…. Events plus something at church? Sounds like a lot of family was planning for this event and presumably all looking forward to seeing each other.

Of course, you’re the one hosting and it’s your call.

But yeah, I think a fever of 102 is not a big deal.  Unless they’re an infant.  Give them ibuprofen, hire a babysitter and keep them separate from everyone else. Have the people in your family wear a mask.  Tell people so they know and can decide if they don’t want to risk getting sick.

Cancelling the whole thing, which is impacting everyone else - which sounds like at least 20 people - seems pretty over the top.  [/quote]

OP here. The event was for both daughters’ first communion. I’m not going to have a party without one of the two celebrants there! I also offered to keep the catering food and take it over to Uncle’s house so everyone could still enjoy it tomorrow, but they all said to cancel the order and save the money for when we can do the future event. They’re still gathering, going out to dinner tonight, etc. There’s not only my uncle’s house, also a local cousin and my sort-of local brother where people can hang out. [/quote]
