Children Birthday Invitation Card

If my child gets a birthday invitation card from a friend at school, for a 10th birthday party, and it has the usual info including a phone number for RSVP, what is the preferred way of RSVP a Yes reply.

1. My child tell friend YES (at school)
2. I call the number, speak to a parent,
3. My child calls friend in the evening

We don't meet them socially. I would prefer to call parent and say Yes myself, but wondering if at 10 years old, children are expected to handle the RSVPs themselves. I think if my child tells the friend Yes at school, that child might forget to tell her parents...

Anyway, so basically, wondering what is the accepted mode of RSVP for 10th b'day invitations.

I would call if I did not know the parent. If it is a close friend of my child and I know the parent, I would have my child call his/her friend.

the party is going to be at home and for not more than 10 children.
The theme of the party is "A Balloon". I plan to invite about 10 children. Suggestions are welcome

First off, if it's only going to be 10 kids...I saw this on an episode of King of the Hill the other day. Sounds a little pricey, but if you do it right, it doesn't have to be and will turn out to be a fabulous surprise! Send each of the kids a small, gift wrapped box (or better yet, deliver them yourself) with a helium balloon inside attached to the card by string, so when they open the box, the balloon floats up with their invitation at the bottom of the string.

As for a part that wasn't included in that TV show episode, but rather more of what we did as a class in elementary school, have the back of the card made into a little tear-off post card with a postage stamp and your address or P.O. Box (more recommended) on it. The concept of this is to have the invited child write their first name (and last initial if necessary) on the postcard, reattach it to the balloon, and set it free in their own yard.

When people find these postcards in their backyards completely postmarked, they will possibly send them back to the P.O. Box sent from. Just ask on the card for their approximate area of receiving them, as in basic main cross streets, and there could be a small competition as to whose balloon went the furthest to be determined after the party itself has ended! Talk about memories that all of her little girl (and/or boy) friends will be talking about for the rest of their lives!

My idea for a poem:

One daughter,
Two parents,
Three cheers...
Four you coming!
Five invites times two
for a girl who turns Six
Lucky Seven good luck wishes,
Eight bikes parked in front of the house,
Nine sighs and a single giggle as the presents are opened
With all 10 of her good friends joining in this celebration!

The card on the balloon thing was from the TV show...the poem and the balloon lift off were of my own imagination. Hope you liked it and, above all, I hope your daughter has a fantastic birthday!

Is is appropriate to send parents Save the Date cards of my child's birthday party? Her birthday falls in the summer when school is out, July to be exact. I just wanted to send a simple save the date card as a reminder of the upcoming party. I do intend to mail more formal invitations 2 weeks prior to the party. Oh, she'll be 9 years old.

I think it's a great idea. Kids with summer birthdays always get the short end of the stick, if only because it's impossible to reach many of the families. I can't imagine anyone taking offense at this.

It's unique. It's different. You're thinking outside the box. Good on ya.

Where can you buy just plain cards to put your own picture in? I just want to do something different than the normal 1st b'day girl theme this time?? Thanks.

This is what I did for my daughter's 1st b-day. I staged a cute picture of her. She had on her cute birthday dress and balloons, streamers, horns, confetti surrounded her...oh and she had on a party hat and was trying to blow the party horn. Then I printed the invitation on Pink card stock. --take a full sheet (8 1/2 x 11) , print the invitation on half of the sheet and fold it over. -- On the front of the pink card I attached the cute photo. Everyone loved it! My guest were able to take the picture off the invitation and have it as a keepsake!
