Should I list what my child likes on his birthday party invitations?

I actually saw a birthday card insert on ebay one day, that I am sorry I didn't pay more attention to (or order)...basically from what I remember it was like a business card, that gets inserted in with birthday invitation. There is a small pic of the party theme (i.e.: Elmo, princess, whatever-maybe matching the invitation theme) and it listed the following:
clothing size, shoe size, favorite animals or characters, etc. (I suppose you could change it to meet your needs)
I have twins turning two in August...I think this is a wonderful idea! Having to return clothes that don't fit, or toys that we already have is at times such a hassle especially with kids in tow, as we all know. I figure it might end some of the continuous calls as to what they will like or not like or what sizes they wear, etc.
I think partygoers would appreciate knowing what the birthday boy or girl wants. It still gives people the option to buy anything they want, but helps them in knowing sizes, etc. I do not think this will in any way affect how they appreciate a gift in the long run. Using this idea for children from ages 1 to 5 or 6...why not? I can't see using this idea when a child is older (or for an adult). Now that might be construed as tacky.
Personally I think including a little information would be a good idea. I intend on doing it...even if not for friends...at least for the family members! There is just too much to do in planning a party (even for little ones), that I don't have the time to always field these questions.
Go for it! Make it tactful and I think you'll find others trying to do the same in the future.
Good luck! and Have a wonderful happy stressfree birthday party!

1st birthday party!?

Dwayne' s

My son is going to be turning one May 2 and i want to have a party for him but i am not sure where. My BF wants to have it at Peter piper pizza, Itz, or chuckE Cheese. Do you think that is to much for a 1st b-day party!? Or should we just have a party at home? I want it to be fun! What would be cute invitations? Or party theme?
My BF already took off work just to have a party for him!

Hi!

I agree with most of the other answers... I think you would have the best time by having a small party at home....
As for invitation / theme ideas... here are some cute ones:
