[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Here's the thing. YOUR teen is vaccinated but you don't know if the other teens are vaccinated and there's a decent likelihood that many of them are not. What kind of people are having a big gathering right now anyway? Very very selfish. [/quote]

People who have probably been planning this for months or even years and possibly had to postpone it at least once. And back in April or May when they were paying deposits, it looked like Covid was improving, so they went ahead with it. I guarantee that they have been thinking and rethinking every scenario for the last several months to keep this safe but to also make it a memorable celebration for their child. And now suddenly, Covid gets bad. Should they completely cancel everything? Lose deposits? Have family cancel flights/hotels, etc.? Or should they go ahead and make the best of it and let their guests decide whether they come or not?

No, they are not being very, very selfish. They are not forcing anyone to come. They are being very, very human and probably doing the best they can.

Signed,
Someone who held a Bar Mitzvah in June (by sheer luck when Covid cases were very light) after having rescheduled the date twice, and who also went through dozens of iterations of what the party would look like as well as many sleepless nights and lots of anxiety over the whole affair. [/quote]

How in earth would having a party be doing the best they can? I’d hate to see their worst effort. [/quote]
