Two parties on the same day, WWYD?

I don’t think in this instance it’s rude to leave the first party early. You can just let them know you’d love to attend, however, you already confirmed your attendance at the 2-4 party so you will need to leave early. That’s perfectly reasonable.

Leave the first one half hour early and arrive at the second one half hour late. Explain to both that you’ve got two parties and this is the fairest way to attend both

How old is your child? Would they have the stamina to attend both parties or would they be burnt out and tantrum-y by the time you get to the second party?

I’ve done that before, left one party early to go to another midway accidentally double booked myself it wasn’t a kids party though it was 2 on NYE lol but yes it’s doable if you leave one a lil early. I did have to tell them I had another event on and they were understanding as in my social circle it’s very common for someone to say “oh I gotta leave a lil early I have another event/party on” I wasn’t the first to say that lol.

Personally would just go to the first party. If I hadn’t seen the others in a year I’d just make my apologies that you already have a party and ask if you can arrange something another day together.

That's fine and getting 10 minutes late isn't a big deal as hosts are usually running late i usually am lol.

I’d go to both

I think with the timings I’d just go with the first one you’ve accepted. If it was ten minutes away it would be slightly different.

Go to both go to the first party first just explain the situation beforehand then leave 30mins before, then message the other person & say u might be 10 mins late it’s no biggy trust me kids will be busy, a few people turned up late at my daughters birthday recently they didn’t say anything 😂😂

Leave the first party early to attend the later one one time.
You confirmed and agreed that one first, therefore they take priority! While you're at the first one grab the mum and arrange a catch up play date

I wanted to add is both parties at a place or at there home? Home parties don't tend to end at time posted

I’d just go to one. My kid would probs get too tired/overwhelmed/too much cake and junk food

I’d just got to the one you accepted first. Too much stress trying to do both of they were close then fair enough but that long drive is a lot and what if there’s a lot of traffic

I would go to the first party then see if you feel up for going to the second one.

That is so rude.
Please don't do that I've had that don't so many times. It hurts the child and the parents if they find out and it a waste of money for them too if they counted your child in whatever the plans are
