[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think winter park parties are great as long as it's in the 30s or above and sunny. Anything lower than that or w/ rain or an awful windchill, and I would not want to attend (or host) one. So I think you just kind of have to be flexible and plan it sort of last minute for a time that's predicted not to have terribly cold or rainy weather.

We've been to a few such parties and I have a February baby myself for whom I'll be planning a party. I think the main key to it is to a) plan it for a nice(r) day, b) plan it for mid-late afternoon when it is at its warmest, c) have hot drinks and foods that are easy to eat without having to remove gloves/mittens (cupcakes instead of a fork to eat a slice of cake, for example, pizza or a sandwich instead of any food you need utensils for), and come prepared w/ extra winter gear (blankets for adults to wear while sitting and watching the kids play? those little hand warmer packets?), and finally keep the kids active and moving around (which should be easy to do at a park but depending on how old they are, maybe you could also do something like red light green light or another active game like that)[/quote]

If you have to do this much planning, it’s too darn cold. Just have an indoor party or hold it in the spring.[/quote]
