[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Thanks everyone.  Actual birthday is Aug 8.  For a host of reasons, if we delayed we'd be looking at Labor Day weekend, late Sept (ages after the real birthday), or a weekend when only one parent can be present.

I think in this town July birthdays are easier.  People go away, but not as much.

I am where I am and just need to make an imperfect choice.

I also don't want to anger the few parents who have said they're coming by canceling last-minute.  At the same time, if I don't cancel I'm afraid a couple of kids will change their RSVP due to last-minute Shenandoah plans or something, then things will be really sad!

Party's in a week.[/quote]

Hate to tell you, OP but that ALWAYS happens. There is ALWAYS  a last-minute cancellation. I've taken to offering my kid the money it would cost to host a party and she has used that to buy some pretty awesome things, like a compuer. We also celebrate with her on vacation. Sometimes we vacation with extended family, so we celebrate with them too, making a cake together. Its been pretty fun and low-budget that way![/quote]
