I'm definitely going to mention it to them again 2 months prior so they can start deciding if they're going to make the trip. My family is horribly last minute, drives me crazy!!!</p> <p>I think I might just send an email out, nothing fancy, just to let people know we are having a party for her. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-do-you-send-out-birthday-party-invites#post-365728 Mon, 29 Oct 2012 07:42:20 +0000 heffalump 365728@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think I did 4-5 weeks. It was just close friends and family so they all pretty much knew when her birthday was, and her party was on her birthday anyway. </p> <p>If it's a huge party and you're inviting OOT guests I think STD's are fine. For us, my only OOT guests were our siblings and I told them verbally when the party was going to be ahead of time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-do-you-send-out-birthday-party-invites#post-365218 Sun, 28 Oct 2012 18:03:30 +0000 regberadaisy 365218@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Her party is at the end of April so not really a busy time of year so there's no reason to be terribly worried. But I'm a tad neurotic :p </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-do-you-send-out-birthday-party-invites#post-364872 Sun, 28 Oct 2012 11:32:49 +0000 Mrs. Pen 364872@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrs. bird: @Andrea: mrs. Makeup designed a save the date for Emmett's party :)</p> <p>I was thinking 6 weeks </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-do-you-send-out-birthday-party-invites#post-364826 Sun, 28 Oct 2012 10:54:52 +0000 Andrea 364826@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think 3-4weeks is enough notice. I have never seen a save the date before. That seems like overkill to me, yes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-do-you-send-out-birthday-party-invites#post-364715 Sun, 28 Oct 2012 08:44:21 +0000 sunny 364715@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have also seen 3-4 weeks. I could see a longer lead time being necessary only around the holidays since there are so many other things going on. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-do-you-send-out-birthday-party-invites#post-364689 Sun, 28 Oct 2012 07:46:09 +0000 mrs. bird 364689@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've never gotten a save the date for a kiddo's birthday party, but just a FYI email to immediate family so they know not to make other plans that day makes sense. The parties I've been to, 3-4 weeks out for invites seems to be the norm. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-do-you-send-out-birthday-party-invites#post-364684 Sun, 28 Oct 2012 07:19:15 +0000 regberadaisy 364684@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>6 weeks? 8 weeks? Would save the dates (email) be overkill? </p>
