So we opted to send them last week (&gt;1 mo) instead of waiting until Jan 6 after the break. Ski season is big here and I expect all the families who haven’t RSVPed are waiting to see if they’re going skiing that weekend. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-to-send-invitations#post-2906471 Thu, 19 Dec 2019 10:49:56 +0000 graceandjoy 2906471@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>1 month! Personally I'd always prefer earlier notice! If you do any e-vitations they usually also help to send reminders. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-to-send-invitations#post-2906470 Thu, 19 Dec 2019 10:49:32 +0000 bhbee 2906470@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thanks ladies! You’ve convinced me to send today before all the kids get out tomorrow :happy: I’ll look into the reminder options too </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-to-send-invitations#post-2906469 Thu, 19 Dec 2019 10:47:32 +0000 muffinsmuffins 2906469@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Always more time. We did 4 weeks for November birthday and a reminder 1 week before. Everyone was able to come. 1-2 weeks out, chances are we’ve already made plans for that time so might be too late. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-to-send-invitations#post-2906467 Thu, 19 Dec 2019 10:36:35 +0000 jhd 2906467@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Can you send early and remind people two weeks out? I haven’t used evite myself so sorry for being clueless! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-to-send-invitations#post-2906466 Thu, 19 Dec 2019 10:28:26 +0000 erinbaderin 2906466@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I’m in the exact same place, and I went with more time rather than less - I sent out invitations on Dec 15 for a party on Jan 19. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-to-send-invitations#post-2906465 Thu, 19 Dec 2019 10:27:12 +0000 bhbee 2906465@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Silly question - Is it better to send bday invitations a bit early (~ a month in advance) or 2 weeks from the date?</p> <p>I usually aim for 3 weeks but I’m thinking school break will make that bad timing so I need to go one or the other. It’s an e-invite. </p> <p>Thanks for helping me stop thinking about this :silly: </p>
