Everyone loved them.. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-youare-you-doing-paper-or-evites-for-your-los-1st-bday-party#post-222721 Mon, 16 Jul 2012 14:12:01 +0000 Andrea 222721@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Paper. I think I will always do paper if we have a party. If it is just a small gathering, then email. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-youare-you-doing-paper-or-evites-for-your-los-1st-bday-party#post-222711 Mon, 16 Jul 2012 14:08:16 +0000 kokobee 222711@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>we did paper for our 1st. bought a party set on etsy and printed it ourselves. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-youare-you-doing-paper-or-evites-for-your-los-1st-bday-party#post-222676 Mon, 16 Jul 2012 13:58:02 +0000 LuLu Mom 222676@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Paper invites, nothing like getting something in the mail for a birthday party. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-youare-you-doing-paper-or-evites-for-your-los-1st-bday-party#post-222659 Mon, 16 Jul 2012 13:53:02 +0000 Pipers Mommy 222659@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Paper, for sure. I used etsy this time around and then took it to office max to print on cardstock. Wasn't pricey at all, I will probably send out paper invites for a while. I think they are a good memento to stick in the baby book :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-youare-you-doing-paper-or-evites-for-your-los-1st-bday-party#post-222516 Mon, 16 Jul 2012 12:36:09 +0000 regberadaisy 222516@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@HabesBabe: haha good point. I've seen invites where it's actually addressed to the child! Then inside something cute like "you can bring our parents too if you want"</p> <p>@chopsuey119: ha leave it to you to rhyme simple with pimple! :P </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-youare-you-doing-paper-or-evites-for-your-los-1st-bday-party#post-219717 Thu, 12 Jul 2012 23:22:27 +0000 HabesBabe 219717@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Paper for as long as I am hosting the bdays (like, when LO is in school... am I going to send a 6 year-old an Evite? No). Prob something cute for the first bday, then just those fill-in ones you get at Target for the school-aged ones. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-youare-you-doing-paper-or-evites-for-your-los-1st-bday-party#post-219714 Thu, 12 Jul 2012 23:20:11 +0000 yin 219714@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love sending and receiving mail. I don't think people do it often enough, and it feels more personal to me. While I didn't have the time to design and print the invitations myself, I did add some special touches (photo of my LO plus lining the envelope) to the packaged birthday invitations I bought. I plan on sending out paper invitations every year. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-youare-you-doing-paper-or-evites-for-your-los-1st-bday-party#post-219160 Thu, 12 Jul 2012 19:10:54 +0000 chopsuey 219160@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Evite!
