To send birthday party invites 3 months in advance?

[StringandGlitter]

Lo is desperate to hand out birthday invitations for party first week in July. Tomorrow seems too early to me. When is right time?

invites are mostly going to year 2 children

4 weeks before.
Though it doesn't really matter how early or late you give them out, people still won't RSVP.

I would wait til 1 month prior earliest. Choice of invitees may change and people may forget/be not keen to commit so far in advance.

6 weeks in advance would be about the maximum amount for me. Any longer and I'd forget about it as too far away to think about. I think 3/4 weeks notice is about right.

2-3 months is normal here but on MN it seems to be illegal to do them more than a fortnight in advance.

Is lo a child? If so, about 3 weeks before the party is fine. Not now, no matter how desperate lo is. No-one will want to commit to a child's party this far in advance and they'll most likely be forhotten about.

However if by lo you mean your dh and they're for his 50th birthday bash and people are coming from all iver, then yes - now is fine.

Can I hijack and ask when you’d send invitations out for a party in early September before term starts?

People will totally forgeg or not be able to commit to a childs birthday parth that far in advance. 2-3 weeks before is the norm.

I wouldn't be able to commit to a child's party so far in advance so would have to decline rather then possibly mess you around. Tbh I'd think you were a bit odd to be asking so early

2-3 weeks is the norm amongst my DC's friends

Tell them it's far too soon Md that their birthday is not for months.

I had a child in my class last year whose mother put the Christmas tree up in November as he was so excited and he couldn't enjoy what was going on all because he was always talking about Christmas. When we launched into nativitypractise and breaking open the glitter he was over Christmas.

8 weeks (2 months) is the norm round here.

Here they always go out at least a month ahead and sometimes two. If you left it any longer, everyone would be booked up.

Three weeks. We’re really busy at that time of year so would’ve able to commit earlier than that

When I did this I used to send them out towards the end of term in July.
