That was exactly what I needed to know. I'll plan it for the weekend after. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-to-schedule-a-birthday-party#post-2117219 Sat, 21 Mar 2015 21:42:01 +0000 Ms. RV 2117219@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>A lot of Catholics around here actually go to church Saturday vigil instead of Easter so I would not plan it then. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-to-schedule-a-birthday-party#post-2117205 Sat, 21 Mar 2015 21:12:04 +0000 blackbird 2117205@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>E's bday is on easter and we are definitely doing it the week after. A party PLUS easter is a lot of obligations for most families. Plus Friday is good Friday </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-to-schedule-a-birthday-party#post-2117161 Sat, 21 Mar 2015 20:06:32 +0000 wonderstruck 2117161@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Weekend after. I would definitely not schedule it for the day before Easter, especially being that she goes to a Catholic school - I was raised Catholic and the day before Easter was kind of a somber thing because it was after Jesus died (Good Friday) but before he had risen (on Easter.) Zero chance my mom would have let me attend a birthday party the day before Easter - and sometimes me birthday WAS the day before Easter! She would still pick a different weekend for my party. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-to-schedule-a-birthday-party#post-2117151 Sat, 21 Mar 2015 19:47:09 +0000 HabesBabe 2117151@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Even though we're not religious, we still end up at a few family Easter gatherings firing that weekend. I would avoid it if you want a lot of her classmates to come. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-to-schedule-a-birthday-party#post-2117143 Sat, 21 Mar 2015 19:31:01 +0000 JMOM 2117143@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My DD has a birthday in a couple of weeks. It falls right in the middle of the week when she will be out of school for spring break. We are considering doing a birthday party and inviting everyone in her class. However, the weekend before her birthday is Easter weekend. She goes to a Catholic school (even though we aren't catholic), and I don't know if it would be taboo or would mess with any Catholic traditions to do a party the day before Easter.<br /> The weekend after her birthday is the last few days before schools starts. I'm thinking a lot of people may still be out of town. Which weekend would be smarter to schedule a party on? </p>
