Birthday invites

What do you guys think about being invited to a child's birthday party if you do not have kids?  There are a few friends that I would like to invite but they do not have children and I don't want them to feel odd or out of place.  DH and I went to numerous parties before B but I don't know if that is normal.

If it makes a difference, it is mid afternoon and I will have food for kids AND adults and the "activity" can be done as an adult or child too.  ;)

 

 

Re: Birthday invites

  • I vote invite them.  They can decide if they feel comfortable or want to be at a kid's party.  I've invited a couple of childless people to some of Connor's  
  • I'd feel sad if my closest friends (whose children I adore) didn't invite me to their kids' birthday parties. If I barely know the children, though, I'd never expect an invite.

     

  • We went to birthday parties for our friends' kids before we had G. I say invite them and let them decide whether or not to come. Even pre-G I kind of expected to be invited to parties for our close friends' kids, and I'm sure we'll invite some of our friends who don't have kids to G's party when the time comes.

  • I say def invite them.  I went to children's birthday parties before we had C. 

    If they don't want to go they won't come... I don't think you can offend someone by inviting them but you might hurt someone's feelings by not inviting them.

  • Invite them! I had quite a few kidless friends come to A's party a while ago and it really meant a lot that they came! They didn't seem bored either, little kids are at least entertaining to watch for a while (to most people).
