If I saw that, and knowing that you were personally helped by March of Dimes, I would think it was really, really nice. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/1st-birthday-invitation-advice#post-561746 Tue, 12 Feb 2013 10:37:45 +0000 Alivoo01 561746@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think it's a great idea! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/1st-birthday-invitation-advice#post-561561 Tue, 12 Feb 2013 09:28:22 +0000 immabeetoo 561561@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Love it not rude at all! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/1st-birthday-invitation-advice#post-561542 Tue, 12 Feb 2013 09:20:14 +0000 littlek 561542@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Thehistoryofus: thank you those both sound like good ways to word it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/1st-birthday-invitation-advice#post-561518 Tue, 12 Feb 2013 09:07:23 +0000 lavender 561518@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think it's a grea idea! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/1st-birthday-invitation-advice#post-561513 Tue, 12 Feb 2013 09:06:18 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 561513@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't think it's rude either. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/1st-birthday-invitation-advice#post-561508 Tue, 12 Feb 2013 09:02:27 +0000 T.H.O.U. 561508@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love the idea but would soften the wording some. </p> <p>Maybe: "No presents please, but would love to see donations to the march of dimes". </p> <p>"in lieu of presents, donations to March of Dimes would be great" </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/1st-birthday-invitation-advice#post-561488 Tue, 12 Feb 2013 08:50:29 +0000 Smurfette 561488@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I see nothing wrong with this. I would much rather do this then buy another toy that goes into a pile. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/1st-birthday-invitation-advice#post-561486 Tue, 12 Feb 2013 08:48:39 +0000 heffalump 561486@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't think that's rude at all, I think that's nice :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/1st-birthday-invitation-advice#post-561482 Tue, 12 Feb 2013 08:44:47 +0000 littlek 561482@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am going to start working on LO's 1st birthday invitations and I was wondering if I was presumptious (or rude) if I wrote on the invitation, at the bottom, in small print "in lieu of presents, please donate to March of Dimes." LO was premature and I appreciate everything March of Dimes did for my LO and I feel like that's a better gift than toys (which he already has a million of). Thoughts? </p>
