[quote=Anonymous][quote]Maybe the parents were grumpy bc you were lacking ice cold beer and/or some type of frozen mixed drinks? That's essential for keeping parents happy in August heat![/quote]

Nah, we most definitely had plenty of ice cold beer on hand. I think that's one of the benefits of [i]not[/i] going the Little Gym route, but didn't want to put it in the original post for fear of starting a debate on the appropriateness of alcohol at kid parties. I think maybe our error last time around was just putting our home address on the invitation, and not specifying that we'd be spending time outside. Of course, if people had bothered to RSVP, I could have told them so, but that's another story...

Based on the responses, I think we'll go ahead with our outdoor party but be clear about it on the invitation, and people who can't handle a summer afternoon outside can plan not to come. Really, what I'm aiming for is a party where my kid can run around and have a good time with extended family and friends and feel special for the day. If fewer classmates show up, that's fine by me - I just did not want to create a situation where people would be uncomfortable. The fans are a great idea too.
