Dumb baby shower question
How far in advance should I mail invites? Mom to be texted me and told me July 29. (We were trying to narrow down dates). I'm ordering invites from shutterfly, so by the time I order and they arrive, it'll be late May. I know I have plenty of time, I just don't know when to send. End of June? Mid June? If it makes a difference, I'm going to put an RSVP date about a week before so I can order food etc.
While I'm at it, cute game suggestions that aren't the usual stupid games?

I say mid June.

These don't exist. sorry.
I usually send invitations 4-6 weeks before the event (if there's a lot of out of town people I try to give more time) and I also set the RSVP date 2 weeks before the event because I usually have to follow up with at least half the list and I want to make sure I have time to get a more solid number.
No game suggestions here...I'm currently stumped on what to do for my sister's shower that I'm planning, haha.
Haha, good point. Let me rephrase: Game suggestions that aren't completely horrible and/or the least amount of suck. I refuse to do bingo.
Since that"s prime vacation time, early-mid june for invites.
All shower games suck. I've done something like this at two showers and the mums have loved it~ http://issasarza.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/baby-shower-games-wishes-for-baby-card-2-1024x700.jpg
Good call on vacations - thats why I wasn't sure. We actually had to push it back twice because of conflicts with important people (the grandma to be, etc.)
This was the one idea I actually had. I saw it on pinterest.
Glad to know someone has seen it done and that it went over moderately well.
Thanks ladies!!
Funny you mention this, because the woman I'm throwing the shower for was my MOH. When she threw my bridal shower, we did this. And people liked it a lot.
Thanks!
Oh, I like that wishes to baby thing. I did something similar for my friend's bridal showr. I bought 4x6 index cards and one of those little photo albums(that only hold 20 pictures) from Target. Everyone wrote advice or anything they wanted to, and I collected them and put them in the album. It was cheap and people wrote some very touching things and very funny things.
It was Sue_sue
One of the games we played at my baby shower had no audience participation. The hostess blindfolded me and handed me a gift bag with various baby items in it. I had to guess what each one was. I thought it was fun and I rocked it.
