How to reply to a childrens party invititation...........

[tiggerific2k7]

Hi im a namechanger but just changed my name for security purposes! Anyway my ds has an invitation to a party only theres no reply bit on it. There is a phone number though. Do i write a note back to confirm son is going or am i supposed to give the childs mother a ring to confirm? Sorry if its a silly question but i really dont know!

If there's a phone number then she's probably expecting you to ring her.

But there's nothing wrong with writing a note, or telling her if you see her.

I jsut get the kids to point out the parents at the school gate and let them know. Ring if you want though.

ring

Phone, note or just tell them at school gate.

Thanks for the reply wwb, i dont know the mother to speak to just to say hello. I think i will just give her a ring to confirm it then.

ring hence the phone number

although if a mobile number then they would undoubtedly prefer a text (remember to include your kid's full name)

Another thing i was wondering anyway was, can you buy notes or cards to confirm an invitation as ive never noticed any?

she will expect you to ring

i would ring!

but might be a nice way to 'break the ice' so to speak by going up to her in playground and confirming that your ds can go to party, looking forward to it blah blah sort of thing

phone number on invitation = they expect you to ring, IMO. Tip: make a note of the Mum's first name and their phone number in your address book. Sounds bleeding obvious, but took me a while to catch on to that! I have a list of "DDs friends" and "DS's friends" in our phone book to keep them all together. Amazing how often it's been useful!

def ring or go up to her in playground and get to know her - that would be lovely

weve invited class to my dd party (a joint party) and seven have not said if coming or not - i dont know if kids got invites, mum too shy to speak, kids coming/not coming! didn't know it was so tricky!

If they give their phone number they expect you to ring. I can't bear people who don't reply to party invitations.

As a mum who recently handed out the same sort of invitation, I would say ANY REPLY IS FINE!

I handed out 20 odd invitations, but have heard directly from only 3 people, but through the grapevine that they are pretty much all coming!

Nightmare

thanks for the replys i just rang and said to the mother my ds is going and thanked her for the invitation

Oops i was the name changer but felt embarassed at asking a silly question! {blush}

I mean !
