party change of date etiquette

So my dd classmate was supposed to have a bday party today, which we could not attend because we had another party that i had rsvped to first.
Now due to the weather both parties were canceled and rescheduled to 2 different dates.
The party we werent going to we can now go to on the new date, but is that rude or just bad etiquette to email the mom and ask if we could attend?
Shes been her classmate since last year. I know the mom weve spoken a few times but I wouldnt say were friends. Shes pretty quiet and keeps to herself.
We went to her bday party last year. I brought in a gift this week to school for her which the mom emailed me to thank me.

I just dont know if this bad manners to do it. I just know my dd would love it and most of the class is going. I wqs actually bummed we werent going...

Not rude at all. I would say something like since the party was rescheduled to xx, we are now available on this date and DD would love to attend! Please let me know if this is ok.

Something like that. I think it's fine!

We had 3 parties scheduled today & tomorrow. The problem is that many are rescheduling for next week, when there already are other parties scheduled!!!

As for the etiquette, I'd skip unless it was a best friend. Party bags have been made, food has been ordered.

This happened to us last year. We originally declined because we were already triple booked for the day. Then there was a big snow storm and party got cancelled. I emailed mom and asked the rescheduled party date. We are friendly but not friends.

We just got invited to the same child's party for next month and just RSVPd yes.

I would see, she might have other people cancel bc of the date change and might appreciate the extra person.

I think it's odd that she didn't extend the invite to your once it was changed. We had to reschedule our son's party from yesterday to next weekend, and I emailed all the parents who originally said no to let them know and see if they could now attend. I don't know that I would ask her since she didn't let you know of the new date. Maybe they are being held to the original number of attendees? Or planned on that and now can't afford more?
