How early do you send out invitations for kiddie birthday parties? I forgot what I did last year. I feel like a month is too short of notice for most people, but how early is too early?

I think 5 - 6 weeks prior is good. My daughter's birthday party is on the 21st (next month), and I sent out the invites earlier this week.

6-8 weeks!
I'll do 4-5 weeks if it's immediate family only (parents, our siblings)

I just do one month before and that has been fine. Most people I know do a month or less!

Sadie's party is the 31st, and I sent the invitations out on the 5th. So just under 4 weeks. I think 3-4 weeks is plenty of time for a kids party.

3 weeks because I lagged on addressing the envelopes.

I think 2-6 weeks is the range in my circle. Of course, I was the 2 weeks because I didn't have my act together

A month for friends and family works for us. If it's just grandparents and uncle, 2 weeks.

So fast, another birthday for your baby already! Happy party planning!! I mailed ours out 5 weeks prior for her first birthday but I think 4-5 weeks is a good range.

@78h2o: 2 weeks?! Oh wow! I think no one would show up if we did that around here.
Thanks for all the replies! I think I will aim for 6 weeks! Now got to get addresses! Thanks!
