I'm actually thinking about sending invites 2 whole months in advance - just to make it perfectly clear that we're the ones that want to throw our daughter her birthday party, but maybe it's a little much :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-far-in-advance-for-bday-party-invite#post-2337156 Wed, 28 Oct 2015 13:22:40 +0000 megjay18 2337156@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>we're having a party on 11/21 and i sent them out at 6 weeks out. normally i would say 3-4 is fine, but with it being right around thanksgiving, i wanted to give people enough time to plan ahead. also the place we're having it asked for a headcount a week before the party to order food. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-far-in-advance-for-bday-party-invite#post-2335735 Tue, 27 Oct 2015 13:17:35 +0000 regberadaisy 2335735@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yup! If they're free, they're free, if not then oh wells! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-far-in-advance-for-bday-party-invite#post-2335728 Tue, 27 Oct 2015 13:11:48 +0000 Mrs. J 2335728@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I sent out invites today for our November 21 party, so I would say yes! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-far-in-advance-for-bday-party-invite#post-2335698 Tue, 27 Oct 2015 12:51:38 +0000 snowjewelz 2335698@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We're doing 1 month out but I don't see how 3 weeks wouldn't be sufficient! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-far-in-advance-for-bday-party-invite#post-2334106 Mon, 26 Oct 2015 13:34:28 +0000 lamariniere 2334106@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think 3 weeks is enough, but I'm going to be sending out invites 6 weeks in advance for DS's party. His party is going to be mid-December though, and I know people always have a lot going on then. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-far-in-advance-for-bday-party-invite#post-2333583 Mon, 26 Oct 2015 08:37:01 +0000 looch 2333583@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I voted no, only because we're in the preschool party circuit and we're actually already booked for that weekend! Invites tend to go out at least 6 weeks in advance. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-far-in-advance-for-bday-party-invite#post-2333572 Mon, 26 Oct 2015 08:33:16 +0000 MamaCate 2333572@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think that is fine! I tend to do 3-4 weeks because LO's birthday is early December so we always do that first weekend and I want to get invites out before thanksgiving. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-far-in-advance-for-bday-party-invite#post-2333567 Mon, 26 Oct 2015 08:31:09 +0000 Alivoo01 2333567@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Definitely! It's pretty close to a month out so you're good! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-far-in-advance-for-bday-party-invite#post-2333521 Mon, 26 Oct 2015 07:54:19 +0000 rattles 2333521@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Ash: us too! </p> <p>I ordered mine this weekend and am planning to turn them around by the end of the week for a Nov. 22 party at our house. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-far-in-advance-for-bday-party-invite#post-2333511 Mon, 26 Oct 2015 07:41:24 +0000 travelgirl1 2333511@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think we gave three weeks notice for ours. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-far-in-advance-for-bday-party-invite#post-2333508 Mon, 26 Oct 2015 07:39:37 +0000 mediagirl 2333508@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Totally. 3 weeks is definitely enough. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-far-in-advance-for-bday-party-invite#post-2333505 Mon, 26 Oct 2015 07:36:31 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 2333505@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>For locals, sure. For OOT guests maybe not. Either way if you have a local or OOT guest that already has committed to a work or social event that gave them 4-6 weeks heads up then you're SOL anyway. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-far-in-advance-for-bday-party-invite#post-2333504 Mon, 26 Oct 2015 07:36:30 +0000 Mamaof2 2333504@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I usually do 2 weeks so I think 3 is fine </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-far-in-advance-for-bday-party-invite#post-2333503 Mon, 26 Oct 2015 07:36:11 +0000 mrsrain 2333503@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think 3 weeks is fine! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-far-in-advance-for-bday-party-invite#post-2333502 Mon, 26 Oct 2015 07:34:26 +0000 Ash 2333502@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We're sending invites out this week for ds' party on November 22nd :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-far-in-advance-for-bday-party-invite#post-2333499 Mon, 26 Oct 2015 07:32:35 +0000 mrsjyw 2333499@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We were going to throw DS a bday party for his 3rd bday the week before thanksgiving, but DH is traveling two weeks in Nov and I'm just newly back at work so I sort of shelved the idea... but now I'm thinking of just doing something simple at the house.</p> <p>Do you think 3 weeks is enough notice for an afternoon party at our house? </p>
