I host an annual event that about 12 people come to, and its about a five hour flight from most people. It is a Thursday - Monday event. It is literally the funnest weekend of everyones life, each year.

Two of the attendees (husband and wife) are expecting to have a baby one month prior to the event starting. I am worried that they wont be able to come because one month might not be enough time for them to feel comfortable leaving their baby with the grandparents for four days? So I delayed the event one month.

Do you reckon two months is enough time for them, mainly the mother? I have no experience with this and want to accommodate them, but I cant move it back a third month.

Theyre probably not coming to a five day event when their baby is only eight weeks old

I dunno when this event is but depending on that, how about not hosting it during a pandemic

We did an overnight trip when our kids was 11 months and it was hard, but I have a cousin who did an overnight trip at 2 months and thought nothing of it, so it all depends on the person. Ask them.

i'd say it's fine as long as everyone gets tested ahead of time

re: the original question, just ask the parents. every set of parents has their own irrational freakouts/priorities. i'd generally go forward with the assumption that it's possible they'll skip no matter how far you bend backwards

You did indeed stab me in the back. However, you are only level one, whilst I am level 50. That means I should remain uninjured.

Well don't cancel it for the 10 people who can come (although you probably shouldn't be hosting it during COVID anyway) but yeah it's been said, they're not coming.

not that it matters. what i'd do is prioritize convenience for your 10 other guests rather than delaying/rearranging the date for them multiple times

You asked for our opinion on the matter. We gave you honest answers. I actually don't get any sense of cockiness in this topic, just honesty. Sorry that you don't like the answer.

No, it's literally not. It is also a 5 day event with people traveling by plane. That is enough time to be exposed while traveling and still become infectious to everyone else during the event.

We're a few months from the vaccine being widely available. Just don't do dumb shit like this for a little while longer.

Yeah I stopped reading immediately after you mentioned that you're going to host an event in the middle of a pandemic, particularly one that requires getting on a plane.
