I didn't set a response deadline but most ppl ended up replying within the week (I just used evite). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-send-invitations-for-1st-bday-party#post-609461 Sun, 03 Mar 2013 14:36:38 +0000 prettylizy 609461@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrsjazz: I did the same! lol!! I was like "you can print it!" </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-send-invitations-for-1st-bday-party#post-609457 Sun, 03 Mar 2013 14:35:23 +0000 mrsjazz 609457@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@prettylizy: I'm doing an e-invitation, too. It's a high-res jpeg though, so all my family members that are going to complain about "oh we need a keepsake" they can just save it and print/send to a photosharing site. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-send-invitations-for-1st-bday-party#post-609452 Sun, 03 Mar 2013 14:31:13 +0000 prettylizy 609452@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I gave 1 months notice, but I also did an e-vite as opposed to paper invites. It's just going to be immediate family/close friends so I didn't want to spend the time and money on paper. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-send-invitations-for-1st-bday-party#post-609449 Sun, 03 Mar 2013 14:30:06 +0000 runsyellowlites 609449@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrsjazz: I hadn't really thought much about it but considering some of DH's family I think I might.... for my shower we invited quite a few (all of them wanted to be invited) and pretty much none of them showed. I don't mind having extra food but I don't want THAT much extra. lol</p> <p>Maybe I'll just give them a ring the week of her party regardless. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-send-invitations-for-1st-bday-party#post-609447 Sun, 03 Mar 2013 14:27:43 +0000 mrsjazz 609447@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@runsyellowlites: I don't know. I probably wouldn't worry about it if I was having her party at home. I'm still trying to figure out if I should. I can always just order food based on a guesstimate, I'd just rather have more than less. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-send-invitations-for-1st-bday-party#post-609445 Sun, 03 Mar 2013 14:26:00 +0000 sunny 609445@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrsjazz: I feel the same way! I made a list last night and I think we have 60 adults on the invite list but I don't think we'll get more than 40. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-send-invitations-for-1st-bday-party#post-609441 Sun, 03 Mar 2013 14:19:07 +0000 runsyellowlites 609441@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrsjazz: I think generally for a bday it's 4-6 weeks out.</p> <p>No, I didn't add an rsvp date, just my number.... maybe I should? Hmmm... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-send-invitations-for-1st-bday-party#post-609435 Sun, 03 Mar 2013 14:17:44 +0000 mrsjazz 609435@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@runsyellowlites: Ok, thanks. I'm so antsy, I want to send them now (even though I don't even have them yet!) haha.</p> <p>I just feel like a lot of my decisions can't be made until I have a vague idea of who is coming.</p> <p>Did you give an RSVP date? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-send-invitations-for-1st-bday-party#post-609423 Sun, 03 Mar 2013 14:07:43 +0000 runsyellowlites 609423@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I plan on sending ours out this week, probably Friday. Party is April 14th. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-send-invitations-for-1st-bday-party#post-609420 Sun, 03 Mar 2013 14:06:28 +0000 mrsjazz 609420@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm trying to figure out when I should send ours. Party is towards the end of April. </p>
