[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op here. I decided to just have a backyard play date. Not birthday related. Will invite 2-3 kids.[/quote]

Why not b-day related? It's not like COVID will look at the invitation and not come because it's "just a playdate". Decide what you are comfortable with safety wise, and call it a half birthday. Explain to families in the invite what safety precautions you will follow.

DS, age 15, had friends over to do a Fantasy Football draft. Everybody brought their own device, we measured out places for their chairs 8 feet apart (they brought their own chairs), we had single packaged snacks and waters, and when the pizza came DH put it on plates and brought it around. Masks on except when they were eating and they either sat in their chairs or made sure they were apart if they got up to get a water or something. Every single boy came, even the families with health concerns, and the feedback we got was everyone was so glad for their kid to have a chance for safe interaction. It wasn't a birthday party but we'll probably do something similar. DS is deciding if just talking is too boring, in which case we'll set up a screen and projector outside and show a movie. [/quote]
