[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You all are such babies. Normal bday party length (anywhere between 1.5-3 hrs) is fine for a park party. I do think for a July party you should have some water element (sprinkler they can run through, kiddie pools and water tables, water balloons, something) and you should offer lots of cold beverages, popsicles/ice creams and have some shade (tables w umbrellas) set up for adults plus a place ppl can duck inside for a few minutes if they get really hot. But it’s fine! I grew up somewhere even hotter than DC (the Deep South) and I have a July bday and had outdoor parties almost every year! Always w sprinklers and hoses, sometimes at the pool.[/quote] Op said there is NO shade and NO water element. That is why everyone is saying that the blazing Julu sun, oppressive humidity, and relentless mosquitoes (especially in a large field at a park where the proposed venue will be) is a horrible idea. And no, bringing a cooler of Popsicles isn't going to cut it.[/quote]
