[quote=Anonymous]OP, it is fine to offer. You guys are best friends - has she mentioned his birthday at all to you? Is her her only child? Is dad in the picture? Is there a reason dad isn't thinking about a party? Was there a reason they never had a birthday party for the boy before now? It might be they just don't think kids should have birthday parties, or the first one at age 5, etc. She might not want his first "real" party to be hosted by someone else, while she is grieving, you know? I would tread carefully with the offer, unless you know she actually is aware he wants a party and she just can't manage to do it right now. In a similar circumstance, I would have been overjoyed if friends stepped up to help host a celebration for my child, but that's because I feel I suck at parties. But I would have wanted it to be at my house, or with me astechnical host, so my kids would think I was competent.[/quote]
