My daughter was invited to 2 different parties tomorrow, what

Hrm.. well if you are able to do so attending both parties would be idea. If not.. or if this is too much trouble.. then delivering a gift later seems appropriate. One might worry, of course, about the political repercussions of this. Will one party feel slighted, etc... but all of that it outside my realm of knowledge.

So, what did you end up doing yesterday? I probably would have just told the second person to ask that you have already been invited to a party on the same day and that you are sorry you can't make it. I don't think I would have tried to make it to both. Especially with your young son and the cold weather.

Later is better then never as they say. Like you I would choose the one I had already been invited to first especially if I had already confirmed going. Going or stopping by a party before or after can sometimes cause problems especially if so and so thinks you chose others over their party. So it is best to deliver the gift at a later time.

I would most likely deliver the present later. I guess it would also depend on what time the parties were, if one was fairly early and another early enough I might try to make it to both. I'd take into consideration our child's naptime, bed time, and various eating time so as to stay as near to the schedule they are used to as possible.

I would let the other party know that I already had plans. I would get a gift in case I was able to stop by for a little while after the first party. Your little lady sounds like a little social butterfly, two invites for the same day. Yeah, I would get a gift, and if I couldn't make it, I would deliver the gift at a later time. Have fun at the party

If the parties are at different times and not extremely close together, I would attend them both. If you can go to the one that you accepted first for awhile and then finish with the second party everyone would come out happy without hurting anyone's feelings. If there is no way that you can attend both parties, then go to the one accepted first and explain the situation to the family friend. The bible says that "a friend loveth at all times." So, if they are a true friend then they will completely understand. I know when my daughters have parties and someone cannot absolutely not attend I just tell them to bring a gift later on. They seem to really love to get another gift after all the others have been opened anyway. Good luck!

If you can manage it, if the parties are are different times I'd attend both if at all possible. If you cannot then simply explain this kindly to the hostess of the one you cannot attend and drop the gift off after the other party. Your daughter could even perhaps arrange to spend some one-one time with her family friend after the other party. This may give the two children a chance to have a special party all to themselves.
