As some of you may remember, V's birthday is 11/25 and will always be right around Thanksgiving. This year it falls on the Saturday after Thanksgiving. He really wants a big party with all his daycare friends at the place where he takes gymnastics. They do birthday parties on Saturday and Sunday afternoons.
We're new to the area with no family/friends to count on to attend this party. When do you think I should schedule the party so more people would be likely to attend?

I would do the weekend before. Most people I know don’t leave for thanksgiving till wed. That is unless you guys want to drive down that weekend and come to H’s party. I’m planning to do it the 18th.

I would do the weekend before if possible. December is so crazy, I feel like there will be more conflicts. I was looking at the weekend before but one of j's friend is having a party that weekend already, so now I'm leaning towards the weekend after. We are 24 and 28th, so are in the same boat😑.

I also have a birthday that usually falls Thanksgiving weekend. Growing up, we always did my party the weekend before the holiday, or the weekend following (so first weekend in Dec, or thereabouts) for optimal turn-out. Early Dec. usually isn't a problem for most people, but I wouldn't wait much later.

S is 11/25 as well. I posted this same question a few weeks ago. After much back and forth, we decided to do 11/18.
I personally would attend any of those, since we usually host thanksgiving so we're home. However, I was worried too many friends would be away the weekend of his actual birthday.
We do have friends and family here, but no one with kids that age, so I am also counting on day care kids attending

M’s is the 27th. I haven’t decided wether I’m going to do the weekend before or the weekend after yet.
ETA this is because I’m flying to OKC for my sister’s 40th and get back that Saturday before.
