Birthday party invitation question

[minerswife17]

How far in advance should I mail out DDs invites? Her party is Saturday, April 11th. I feel like I probably should've mailed them out already but I didn't want to do it too soon and people forget. TIA

I'd probably mail them now - I think 3-4 weeks is good, but not longer than that and probably not less, so people can be sure to get it in their calendars.

I sent out invitations 3 weeks in advance. Everyone around here sends out invitations 2-3 days in advance and it really bugs me.

This is what I do too.

3 to 4 weeks!

Send them now. How do people forget? When I get an invite, it gets hung on the corkboard in the kitchen AND I mark in on my calendar.

About 3 weeks is normal.

I hope three weeks is fine because I'm sending DD1s out sometime later this week. Her party is on the same day! And I'm sending an Evite to boot! Bah.

I do 2-3 weeks. But we do smaller parties with 30ish or fewer people.

Thanks ladies. I'll get them out tomorrow!

Eta: oops. Or whenever I get stamps. I guess those will come in handy.

LOL @ "30ish" being a smaller party.

Ok...but my close mom friend had over a 100 people at her Dd's first. Ours was about 20 for DS' first. This year we will have under 30.

100 is crazy!!
Is that just the norm in your area? Circle of friends?

I dunno! I thought it was wild too!! She said it is pretty standard in her culture-she is Mexican. It was really cool though. A 7 person mariachi band, a taco cart and at a cool outdoor venue. My other friends have done parties in the 20-30 range too. I am not qualified to have 100 person parties lol.

That makes sense, and sounds fun. Taco cart, yum!!
