Birthday party the weekend before or after actual birthday?

My son turns 2 on Halloween, which is a Thursday this year. I'm trying to decide if I should have his party the weekend before Halloween or the weekend after. Any thoughts?

I think there will be less going on the weekend after and will give you time to send invites and hope no one has made prior plans.

Weekend after. People still have plans a couple days before Halloween because I have a Halloween event on the 26th, because it falls on a Saturday. So most places doing events will be doing it the weekend of the 26/27 just because it’s the weekend. So I say do the birthday after. Definitely. If you do it the week before don’t be surprised if people reply back “we’re busy! We have a Halloween event. We’re invited to this other thing” etc etc.

If you want to do a costume party, you should do it the weekend before. If you want a regular party, do it the weekend after.

Weekend after because a lot of people have Halloween parties and pumpkin picking the week before!

Weekend after, otherwise it's still all about Halloween. Take down the Halloween decorations and celebrate the birthday boy! 🎉

After. Especially as his birthday is on Thursday so towards the end of the week.
