br: When to send out invites?

LJ's bday is 5/21 (the end of the world, apparently).  When would you stick birthday invites in the mail?

Re: br: When to send out invites?

  • As far as the end of the world....doesn't the Bible say "it will be like a theft in the night'? Hm...doesn't seem like a theft when people have it planned! :-)

    We plan to send out invites 2-3 weeks in advance. All family/friends already know anyway, so it's basically a reminder :-)

  • What?! 2012?  They need to get their story straight! ;)

    Are you asking for an email rsvp?  We're going to have LOTS of food (too much, as usual... imagine our Christmas party, amplified).  So I want a relatively fixed assumption of guests.

  • Haha-sorry, changed my response! Yup-I heard 12/21/12 and May 2012. 

    I can't decide on the email rsvp. We are inviting way too many people (not my idea, but we can't leave anyone out...) so either way we'll be cooking for a million and a half people ;-) G's boyfriend better be there too, mostly just so his mommy keeps her mommy sane ;-)

  • We're doing the same as B-P, 2-3 weeks in advance but most people already know so it is just a friendly reminder. I think we'll have an email RSVP or people can call if they want. I like knowing how much food to get, also.

    But, since the world is ending that day it might not be worth your time preparing for a birthday party Wink

  • Pretty sure G's boyfriend's mom will be there to keep you sane ;)  Wouldn't miss it!

    That is why it's going to be lobster rolls and filet bites, duh!  ;)  We're pulling out all the stops.

    And by sane, I just need her to remind me that no matter what happens and how many people come-it's all about G and we just need to have a freakin blast! That's all the matters. She'll remind me of that-and I'll love her for it.

    Ok, enough hijacking from me tonight ;-)
