Birthday Invitations?

Samantha

I am planning my boyfriends 25th birthday party and am planning on doing a Luau Theme. I want to get really nice invitations, so is there any site that does free printable or fairly inexpensive luau theme or Hawaiian theme invitations. I would like to be able to have them printed so if a site does that, Im willing, as long as it is not crazy expensive. I only need about 30 invitations and I dont want to spend more the $40 so if anyone has any ideas, let me know please!!!

Answer

Etiquette question about Birthday Party invitations?

P H

It seems to be a growing fad in our suburban area to put a registry list and gift ideas on children's birthday party invitations. Our son has recently been invited to 3 parties where the invites include places where the child is registered, clothing sizes, and favorite colors, action figures and so on.
To me, this seems a little "out there" for children's parties. While I understand children do sometimes receive multiple gifts of a certain item, giving me a registry list to a very upscale children's clothing boutique where the cheapest item is listed at $50 seems a little outrageous. I cannot imagine these 5 and 6 yr. olds chose to go register for their party, so is this growing trend really just a fad or something that is happening other places?
I do want to add this..to the 2nd responder..we are in an affluent area, but that is no excuse still. I will go on to say that one invitation did include a little note saying the childs room had just been decorated in a military motif and any military type things would be a hit with the birthday child. I can accept that...it left me with a ton of possible gift ideas and I appreciate that. I just cannot wrap my mind around placing clothing sizes, shoe sizes and actual registry lists or places to visit where the child is registered. This isn't a wedding...it's a child's birthday celebration!

I think it's extremely tacky and presumptuous. I live in a nice suburb too. Birthday parties have become so extravagant. What do the kids have to look forward too? I admit it's convenient to have a party outside of the home at a themed venue like a bouncing party, laser tag, etc. However, a gift registry is too much. I'm leaning towards the other extreme of saying "Please - No Gifts" on my son's next party invitation simply because he has everything he could possibly want and we're filled to the brim with toys. We're fortunate as parents to be able to provide for him.

By inviting a guest to a birthday party, you're asking them to share in your celebration. In my opinion, it's not about the gifts and I don't want my son to think it is his chance to get everything he wants in the world.

I like to give themed gifts like pool toys and a beach towel for spring/summer birthdays or themed pajama and toothbrush sets. Most kids need pajamas or a beach towel. This solves the problem of what to give a child you don't know well or who has everything. The other thing I do is let my son pick out the gift and go with that idea (within reason).

Give what your child wants to give. Don't feel obligated by a registry.
