1st Birthday party invitations?

LOLeah

How many people did you invite to your LO's 1st birthday party and where did you get the invitations? Also, how much were they?

Answer
I got photo invitations made at the photo kiosk in the department store. I chose 2 cute photos, one the day he was born and another recent one, and then chose a template for a party invitation. I invited about 20 people, and had 25 invites made for $9.95.

Birthday party invitation?

Lynn S

My Niece sent a birthday party invitation to my sister's 60th birthday party at a restaurant and stated it would be $50 per person, plus perhaps $9 for parking. She included a card like a wedding for us to fill in with the number of persons that would attend and we were to sent our check to her. She also included a note about the restaurant and how it would make things easier when the check came if we would pay ahead of time. Family members felt when they received the invitation that they were being "invited" to pay for a party they had no choice about the planning in. I expressed that to my niece and she cancelled the whole affair and will not speak to anyone in the family. The invitations were handmade and very lovely. What should I do? Was she wrong?

Answer
She was wrong, however good her intentions may have been.
She should have told people that she was taking her mother out for her 60th birthday. She should then have asked if family would like to join them at a local restaurant to celebrate the event. That way, each person could order for themselves and pay what they could afford to pay for the meal. Each person could either contribute toward the paying of the birthday person's meal, or buy a gift or both. You simply do not INVITE people to a party and then charge them. Do nothing, you were not alone in this opinion, she will get over it in time. Her intentions were probably good.

birthday party ideas?

ashluvsyou

my friend is having a birthday party and i told her i would help her plan it out. We were thinking we could do a survivor theme but we have never seen the show! who knows what games we could do?

Answer
Survivor Party (outdoor event) Invitations: Using a computer program for making greeting cards, I chose the single fold (saves paper and you can make two invites on one sheet) I typed in "You're invited to , my daughter's name, (followed by a picture of the "CBS Survivor logo"), Party." On the inside (left) I asked each guest to "wear camouflage, or black, army green and khaki clothes, boots or good shoes. (But not required!)" You may not want to add that part yourself, I had children that had bought new outfits just for this one occasion. On the inside (right) I wrote: "Where will the tribes meet? At, my child's name, house." It was at an empty lot that has a wide trail made by our kids with a four wheeler. The trail looks almost like a wish bone that goes into three directions and the tall grass in the trails was mowed down). "When will the adventure take place? On , date of party." "The challenges will begin at 6:30 p.m." (I wanted it to be daylight long enough for the guest to get an idea of the terrain before they started the games). "The challenges will end around 8:30 or 9:00 p.m. following the tribal meeting." Decorations: I begged, borrowed, but I did not steal, most of the decorations. I got tikki torches, fish net, hammocks, a blue tarp, duck decoys, camo tarp, logs, etc...to make the setting as close to an island as possible. The blue tarp (the pond), was lei out in a small open area on one of the trails and we placed the duck decoys on it and named it Bay Island. The tikki torches were strategically placed to illuminate as much territory as possible without giving off too much light in one particular area. At the entrance of the North Trail (I labeled each direction), there was a tree house that had been in the process of removal. It was perfect...the broken pieces of wood resembled a shipwreck. I painted S.S. Skipper on the largest piece. Using my daughter's stuffed and plastic animals, I placed "wild or exotic" animals throughout the trees and grass. The camo tarp was tied up to four trees. My husband placed a large table under it for the food and gifts. We collected the largest logs we could find. They were placed around the campfire. Activities: I had the guest line up according to height. I separated them equally into to two tribes, which they named themselves, "The Discoverers" and "The Explorers." We started with a relay race. The tribes formed two separate lines. At the sound of the whistle the first two hoola hooped from the starting point (a line drawn with flour), and touched the camouflaged blanket, (blanket was folded in half long ways and tied to trees on each side of the trail), hoola hooped back for the next tribal member to get ready to start (they start when the other member goes under the blanket), and then had to run back and crawl under the blanket, (the blanket was used because I did not find the tunnels I wanted), next they jumped through tires (5 for each team... all 10 were borrowed from a tire store), and finishing when they walked across a balance beam. The first tribe to complete the course received immunity and a prize for each member. The immunity part was thrown in just for drama (lol), none of the tribal members were ever voted off the "island". The prizes were an assortment of survival needs, (ie: flashlights, binoculars, etc. most were purchased from the dollar store). Following the relay race...they liked it so much they did it twice. After, the tribes went to their first tribal meeting at the campfire. They ate hot dogs and talked about how much fun they were having! The scavenger hunt was the next activity. We removed the obstacles from the relay race while they were eating. I gave the instructions to play the game successfully. Each tribe had to find the object that was secretly coded in the clues. Each object had another clue that eventually led them to the "survival" treasure chest. I placed two of everything along the trails for the scavenger hunt so that both tribes had the same opportunity to get to the survival treasure chest first. One tribe went down one trail and the other went down the other trail. Each object was placed approximately the same distance from the other for both tribes. This activity took a while. Once the treasure chest was found we had our final tribal meeting. This included sitting around the campfire and eating cup cakes (frosted with an army green color) and my daughter opened her gifts. Favors: Each guest received arm bands made of camo material (ripped strips), and doo rags made of army green material when they arrived for the party, treat bags were filled with small gadgets, candy, etc. and given to the guests as they were leaving. This was a huge success...Good luck if you take the challenge to "Outwit" "Outlast" and "Outplay" the birthday party scene.

Why do parents send out invitations for a kids sleepover when we've never even met?

9 birthday party invitations image

kincaid1

My daughter is 9 and received a birthday party invitation for a sleep over. I have never met the parents before. I just wonder how many parents allow their kids to do this. I have to know the parents for quite a while before it is OK for her to stay the night.

Answer
My 6 y old got a sleepover party invite. He went for the evening but I picked him up at 930. I told them that no offense, since I didnt know them I didnt want to have him sleep over, and they totally understood, or at least pretended to lol
I would have to know more of the family than be able to pick the parents out of aline-up to send my kid for a sleepover. I dont need to be friends with them but I do need to know them in some level.
Just let her go for a while and pick her up later, its not like theyll be going to sleep early anyways

Is it appropriate for a family member to host minor child's birthday without discussing with parent?

Mom of 4

My husband and I received an invitation to our daughter's (his biological, my step daughter) 9th birthday party from my husband's sister. She never even called us and asked if we were doing something or if we minded her hosting a party. His sister made arrangements to spend the day with our daughter during her bio mom's weekend as to secure the time with our daughter without us knowing. Is it appropriate and how would you reply?

Answer
No, that is inappropriate. She should have discussed this with you and your husband.
