I just said to RSVP and we heard back from everyone. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/questions-about-bday-party-invitations#post-1182712 Tue, 29 Oct 2013 16:03:27 +0000 MrsF 1182712@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We used paperless post and did electronic RSVPs that way. I sent them out about 3 weeks ahead of time but it was mostly our extended family so they had all gotten a little casual save the date email about 6 weeks out. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/questions-about-bday-party-invitations#post-1182701 Tue, 29 Oct 2013 15:59:23 +0000 shinymama 1182701@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Paper invites with an RSVP request were sent out a month ahead of time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/questions-about-bday-party-invitations#post-1182666 Tue, 29 Oct 2013 15:51:19 +0000 californiadreams 1182666@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i did an evite and ask that people rsvp. i only have a handful of people to invite though since our families don't live near by. i sent it out about 4 weeks before the party which is coming up mid november! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/questions-about-bday-party-invitations#post-1182640 Tue, 29 Oct 2013 15:42:33 +0000 lindseykaye 1182640@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I sent paper invites, I don't expect to do this in the future (evite or something) but for her first I wanted the keepsake.<br /> I included an RSVP line on the invite and my phone/email with a date for two weeks before the party.<br /> They were sent about 6 weeks in advance due to her birthday being over a 'local' holiday (university football homecoming hah) and because most people will travel to attend. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/questions-about-bday-party-invitations#post-1182587 Tue, 29 Oct 2013 15:26:07 +0000 MarieJ 1182587@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We used paper, mailed them a month in advance, and regrets only. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/questions-about-bday-party-invitations#post-1182486 Tue, 29 Oct 2013 15:00:47 +0000 tinyperson 1182486@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We're doing paper invites mainly because my moms a calligrapher/paper artist, so it seems sillynot to use that! We're doing invites this week to send out next week and the party's Dec 7...</p> <p>Most of the guest list is aware of the party date already though </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/questions-about-bday-party-invitations#post-1182399 Tue, 29 Oct 2013 14:35:02 +0000 SAHM0811 1182399@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've been ordering digital invites off of Etsy and emailing them. I print a few out for the ones that would like it on their fridge, since there's usually a pic of LO on it (grandparents, our siblings... basically immediate family). </p> <p>Once the date is set, i usually call our immediate families and let them know right away... My mom usually spreads the word to other family members and I usually send the invites out about 4-5 weeks before. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/questions-about-bday-party-invitations#post-1182391 Tue, 29 Oct 2013 14:33:41 +0000 Mrs. Jump Rope 1182391@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@autumnlove: paper invites! I always recommend to clients to include an RSVP. regrets only is easier, but there's always a handful of people who forget to respond, and you end up having to check on people anyway. </p> <p>i mail my invites about 4 weeks in advance, but if her party is going to be around the holidays i might do 5-6 weeks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/questions-about-bday-party-invitations#post-1182296 Tue, 29 Oct 2013 14:09:50 +0000 looch 1182296@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>As a guest, I personally prefer regrets only OR an evite. I have too much crap going on to manage someone else's paper!</p> <p>For my son's birthday, we have made phone calls. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/questions-about-bday-party-invitations#post-1182291 Tue, 29 Oct 2013 14:07:50 +0000 sunny 1182291@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We did a Paperless Post invite and asked people to RSVP even though it was at our house since we wanted to know if we'd have 30 people or 60 :-) </p> <p>Party was late August and we sent the invite out about 3 weeks ahead of time with a reminder to RSVP about a week ahead of time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/questions-about-bday-party-invitations#post-1182285 Tue, 29 Oct 2013 14:06:03 +0000 mrsjyw 1182285@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Just sent them out yesterday. Party is 11/23. Didn't include an RSVP, because we're having it at our house (have more than enough food planned) and have everything sized/counted to my invite list. If less show, then better for cleanup! :)</p> <p>Was going to do an e-vite, but chose the invite since it's his first and wanted a keepsake, my designer friend did them for me :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/questions-about-bday-party-invitations#post-1182281 Tue, 29 Oct 2013 14:04:01 +0000 autumnlove 1182281@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Did you use an electronic or paper invite? Or something else?</p> <p>Will you have people RSVP or regrets only?</p> <p>When did you send your invites out? LO is a late December baby but her party will be in early January. </p>
