Thinking way ahead about a party

[hrj]

So I've already determined that I can't manage to fit my 50th birthday party into the calendar in May (much less on my actual b-day) if I don't want all sorts of people to not be able to make it. So I'm currently wavering between pencilling it in on Sunday June 1 and one day or the other of the weekend of June 28-29. Is there anything I'm utterly forgetting that might make one of those days more or less preferable than the others? (The party theme is still nebulous -- defaulting to Food, Friends, and Hanging Out -- although I'm working on coming up with something clever.)

Quandry over Dates

Glad I'm not the only one having fits trying to wedge a personal celebration into my calendar. My birthday was in February and since it's a rather significant milestone (50th as well), I thought I'd do a Roaring 20's themed thingie. Then there was the logistics of space -- not in my teeny house -- and expense -- food, drink, hall, etc -- and then most of the people I wanted to come would be at Estrella during that time. So, I looked at August (an appropriate half-year un-birthday time) and realized the only date I have open would conflict with Purg. Fooey. I may just go ahead with it that weekend and make it a pool-party hafla thingie in my backyard instead as I can't see us sweltering in Erte inspired coats, frocks with rolled silk stockings, three-piece suits with fedoras and the like.

Hope you have better luck with planning your bash!
