Screwed up, need ettiquette advice.
Niece's first birthday party was this afternoon. We had it marked on the calendar for tomorrow. Sunday parties aren't unusual with this side of the family. I got a call half an hour ago from my other SIL(K) asking if we'd forgotten and pointing out that we wouldn't be able to make the drive before everyone left (it was being held at the grandmother's house).
So, yeah. We screwed up, badly- since this was a big family party and we were really obviously missing since we never miss family get togethers.
What's the etiquette for apologizing for an error like this? I babysit my niece all day on Mondays but I do it at my other SIL's(N) house and I don't usually see SIL(M) until she gets off work to pick up the baby (Three SILs: K, M, and N). We're going to call tonight once they've had a chance to get home and start putting things away and apologize. The niece obviously won't remember, SIL (all three of them, unfortunately) will.
Should we bring over the gift tomorrow or wait until Monday in addition to an apologetic call?

"I'm so sorry we missed Julie's birthday party! We had it marked on the calendar for tomorrow!"
The end.
Unless your SILs have connections to the mob and anything less than gifts from Tiffany will result in a hit being put out for you. Really, it was a simple mistake. Relax. Bring the gift the next time you'll see the child - no need to make a special trip.

This 100 times over!!! A simple mistake, that is all.
This is really good. Birthdays at this age are more for the parents and other family anyways. The kids never remember them, and have more fun with the paper and boxes than the actual gifts anyway.
Hi! All of the above.
