Of course it depends on your child and on the plans for the party, but many people feel that no more kids than the child´s age should be invited to the party.
|
YES! | |
NO! | |
Depends on how they´re done. | |
It totally depends on how the invitations are made. 50th birthday invitations printed on a black and white printer and coloured in quickly by hand are tacky. But a picture of the birthday person on the front of some good card stock and hand written on the inside with a beautiful pen can be very memorable!
|
Yes | |
No | |
Unless all the kids in the class are invited to the party, invitations should be delivered some other way. All too often children´s feelings are hurt if they aren´t invited to what seems like the party of the century!
|
2-3 days | |
1 week | |
2-3 weeks | |
4-6 weeks | |
People are busy! To avoid negative RSVPs, send your invitations at least 2-3 weeks in advance. Any more than that and people might forget about your party altogether.
|
Location and time. | |
Location and time, plus who is invited. | |
Location and time, plus who is invited and an R.S.V.P date. | |
Location and time, plus who is invited and an R.S.V.P date, plus your full name and phone number. | |
It sounds like a lot, but guests really appreciate all the information. Where will the party be held (including a rain place if necessary)? What time will it start (you can include an ending time too)? If it´s a child´s party, are siblings or parents invited? If it´s an adult party, are children invited? Don´t leave your guests guessing.
|
Yes | |
No | |
I suppose this is up to each individual host, but I suggest an invitation that fits the theme. But that doesn´t mean you have to spend tons of money on the pre-printed character invitations! Invitations can be printed from the internet or be hand-made. Even solid coloured invitations that fit with the theme will do.
|
Gift ideas | |
Gift requests | |
Directions to the party | |
A party agenda | |
Pretty much all of the other answers would be tacky. :P
|
Call them once. | |
Call them several times. | |
Include a prepaid reply card with the invitation. | |
Include a threat in the invitation. | |
The prepaid reply card encourages people to respond and can be used for every occasion, including kids´ birthday parties. Calling the person can cause embarassment for both the guest and you.
|
Yes, always. | |
Yes, but there can be exceptions. | |
No, never. | |
It´s usually tacky to ask for a specific gift in the invitation. But often a small or verbal note is acceptable, for example if the person asks what to bring or if people are chipping in a certain amount for a big gift.
|
Have your children make them. | |
Use a rubber stamp. | |
Print them from the computer. | |
All of the above. | |
All of the answers would be acceptable depending on the party. Kids would have such a blast making their own party invitations! And there are some beautiful rubber stamps on the market now. Plus you can always print out invitations from your computer, IF they don´t look too cheap.
