Invitations for a Christmas Open House
DH and I are hosting our first Christmas open house and I'm wondering when I should send out invitations. We're having it on December 18th. I really want to get them out before Thanksgiving, but I don't know how early is too early. TIA!

Thinking of doing cosmetic updates to a dated home? These were our costs.
I agree with this. With work parties, work parties and family get togethers - get the word out verbally or via social networking. Then send invites soon.

To your original question, I thought about it and I actually mailed my invites last year on the Wednesday before Thanksgiving, that way they got there some time that weekend. For me, there's just something about receiving a Christmas invite before Tday that irks me.
Regarding the date, a few thoughts. (Sorry, I think in bulleted lists, lol, it's a problem!)
1) At first, I thought the 18th was too late, but the way Christmas falls this year, there's a full week of work btwn the 18th and Christmas, so people will probably be in town.
2) The 11th is definitely not too early. That's just 2 weeks before Christmas.
3) Next, I don't think anyone will think you're throwing yourself a bday party. You didn't say who the guests will be, but if they're social acquaintances, many of them may not know your bday at all. And if you don't market it as a bday party, I can't imagine anyone thinking that's what it is.
4) My bday is Dec 22, so I definitely get what you're saying. But at the same time, it's a part of life and eligible weekends fall where they do.

So you think the 11th would be better than the 18th??

I think that I have no real opinion :P My point was simply to assuage your concerns about the 11th. The more important thing than stranger on the internet's opinion is to talk to your friends and see what their openings are. They might all have plans for a holiday musicale or something.
