When do you send out your child(ren)'s birthday invites?

How far in advance?

We just received an invite for a party in 2 months and I am nervous that I might be wrong thinking a month was okay.

Re: When do you send out your child(ren)'s birthday invites?

I sent out my ds birthday invites 4 weeks before.

Re: When do you send out your child(ren)'s birthday invites?

I sent DD's invites out a month before, and i think that's plenty of time.

Julia's b-day is the first week in July, so I send out her invites the beginning of June.

Re: When do you send out your child(ren)'s birthday invites?

We're going to send ours out about 2 months before because of all the communion & other parties around that time.

ETA- Only because it's DS's 1st birthday. For any other one, I'd probably only send out a few weeks to a month before

i usually send mine a month in advance also. except if i know its a busy time of year, such as summer, or holiday weekends, i send it 6 weeks in advance.

Jack's party is June 28th - I will send them out the last week in May -- prob get them in the mail May 20th. My family basically already knows the date anyway.

DS's party is March 30th and I still haven't even ordered them yet I will most likely today and than send them out by next week. I am making the RSVP only a few days to a week before the party so they will have about a month to respond.

I have not sent out mine yet...the lovely Barbara is helping me create them and they will go out the end of the month

Re: When do you send out your child(ren)'s birthday invites?

I think it kind of depends when your DC birthday is.

For instance, if your child's birthday is in the summer, I would send it a little more than 4 weeks before (I woud probably send them out about 6 weeks before). Only because everyone usually has things booked for the weekends in the summer.

If a winter baby - I think 4 weeks is more than enough.

Same thing goes for spring and fall.
If it is close to a holiday or something - I would send them out a little before 4 weeks.

I would usually say 4 - 6 weeks. I think I did 6 weeks because DD's 1st birthday was in December and I didn't want to compete with all the Holiday parties!!

Ds's party is mid March, his invites will be sent out this week.
