DD Birthday party - death of a family member?
DH and I are really confused as what to do. DH's nan passed away on Friday night and her funeral is 10.30 on Friday. We were having a simple afternoon tea for DD's 3rd birthday at a park but we are not sure if we should go ahead or cancel it.
We are feeling really disrepectful planning a birthday party while his family are planning his nan's funeral. Plus we don't want people to feel pressured to come to a party the day after they bury their mum, nan and great nan. We can't even bring ourselves to mention it and ask if they want to come or us cancel it.
DD is young enough not to remember not having a party and we would still have a birthday cake and make a big deal of it at home.
We need some opinions from the outside. So what do you think is it disrepectful to have her party? So should we go ahead or cancel it?
TIA,
Dan.
P.S. We can't postpone it due to family issues so that is out too.
