i am sending out invitations for his first birthday, just to family but i have around 30 family members living near by (in the same city as me) they will all attend, it just what we do, we celebrate together in masses..
and its NO big deal except that the week after my sons birthday party he's going in for a pretty major surgery, celft palate repair. and i am concerned about people who'er ill showing up. i concidered writing on the invitations that if you where ill please skip the event because if Owyn turns up sick at his pre op appointment the day before surgery it will be cancelled, which isn't SO bad except we've all planned our vacations around this date to be there for him.
but my MIL said that would be rude to write in the invitations, and that i should just mention the fact that Owyn has surgery the week after his party..
I am beginning to wonder if he should even HAVE a party.. why take the risk, right? but my husband is pretty uphappy with the thought of him not getting a party, i mentioned that we could do the party 2-3 weeks after surgery, but he doesn't like that idea either.. suggestions?? thoughts??
