help with going away party wording
I want to have a going away party for my kids to say good bye to their friends before we move from CA to TX. I had also told them we would do their birthday parties early. The party would be in March, and their b-days aren't until may & june. Would it be improper to combine? If so how do I word the invitation. Also if I don't combine the party's what is a good kid friendly wording for a going away party.
Thanks!!
Re: help with going away party wording
Maybe something to the effect of, "Please join us for a joint birthday celebration before we say 'Goodbye' to CA"
I don't have kids and haven't been to a lot of kids' b-day parties recently, so take this for what it's worth. If it were me, I think I would just call it a "going away party", and serve b-day cake. Unless all your kids' b-days are coming up in the next month. Idk...
Re: Who are you inviting? I think it would be odd (and maybe gift grabby?) to invite classmates to a bday party 2 months early. I understand the intention, but It still feels off. I'd just do a going away, but if you've already told the kids they could have a bday party......this is tough. You can do a bday party when you get to TX though.
This. Though if you simply can't have a bday party when you get to TX , because you don't know anyone yet, would do something else extra special for their bdays... talk to them about it.
GL.
thanks all. i ended up deciding to do, as some suggested, skipping the whole b-day idea ( & figure out what to do once we move - and part of wanting to do now is because when we go we will no know one, all family & friends are in our current location) soo.. just a going away party it is....now to come up with some clever wording.
To be clear- I understood the WHY of having the bday party and didn't personally think it was gift grabby or anything. If it was just for family I would definitely go for it. I just think for adding other kids it would have been odd.
2 months is a long time in kid life. I'm sure they will have friends in no time and if they are really little they won't know any difference.
