WWYD bday party invite

[nowa]

So DD's party is 3 weeks from yesterday. I need to get invited out but here's my dilemma. The party is at a venue with various theme options. But the lady hasn't gotten back to me to tell me which themes are available to us. Would you just send out a generic party invite and leave off the specific theme? Or wait until the lady gets back to me?

FWIW I'm sending an Evite and the party is either going to be dinosaurs, frogs or campfire themed.

Can you call the lady? If you dont hear by tomorrow I'd just send a more generic invite. You're not giving the guests much time

I've emailed her and called a bunch of times today. She does all the parties and only works weekends so hard to get ahold of her!

Ugh. I know less than 3 weeks out is really cutting it close so I'm tempted to just send the evites out today. I can include the theme in a reminder email a few days out? I mean, I doubt the theme will be the deciding factor in a kid attending so they don't have to know it.

Send the evite. Real friends will come for the kid, not the theme. Better to have more time I think.

Yep, I'd go ahead and send them. I think the theme will be fun day-of, but doesn't make a huge difference for the purpose of the invite.

I don't always know the theme before a party and some parties don't even have a theme. Just send the evites

Invites sent! Cute too. Thanks ladies.
