I went to one sunday it was lovely.

Honestly it depends on the day. Just aim for later March and read the weather forecasts.

We have one with a bday in March, and it's completely shoulder season. One year 42 degrees and raining (outdoor party moved indoors), the next year 70 degrees and sunny (indoor pool party at the YMCA but we moved the pizza and cake outdoors).

You can plan an outdoor party as long as you have a backup plan, and the ability to move the party indoors

First of all, research how people get sick. I can’t believe people still think weather matters

Second, it’s been nearly 10 years since this post was written. I assume a decision was made.

Over 10 years!

Funny the main reason I don't want indoor parties is to avoid getting sick...my 2.5 year old only does things outside, including all winter long, and has never been sick. I'm sad my new baby has winter bday and won't be able to have outdoor parties too

You definitely need an indoor back up plan, just because the weather is too unpredictable. My son's birthday is in early March and we have never attempted an outdoor party.

Some friends had an outdoor bday party in early march last year. The weather cooperated. The party was only a few blocks from their house and they probay could have moved it indoors if needed.

No, that's why I was only willing to birth kids between May and sept.
I love outdoor parties.

I'd say no, it will be miserable for people to be out there.

I found indoor bounce houses. Now I need to measure my rooms. Not sure I have the space. Maybe we can order an indoor one, and then if it's nice upgrade to a bigger one for outside. Birthday parties are so complicated.

I would if the weather was at least high 50's. Just have a back-up plan in case the weather is bad. Movie, bowling, house party, ice cream at a Friendly's or similar.
