Over the years, the girls have brought home birthday invitations from their friends at school. Sometimes, the things are very straight forward, easy to read and basic. You can buy these at any store that sells party supplies or greeting cards. Like I said, basic. Where is it? What time? For how long? Present or no present. What day? Who is having the party? A contact number. All of those questions are usually answered right there in the basic invitation. However, sometimes someone gets really creative and the invitation is a lot of fun…or not!
What I do not care for is when the person who wrote the invitation (and thought they were being creative), leaves out some really basic thing like…..when is it??? We have actually gotten one that did not have the date it was supposed to be held. Oh yes, the contact number was missing too. Ah well. That’s informative. Or how about it gives you the start time but when does it end?? Quite recently, the invitation stated that it started at 3pm at a bowling alley. We assumed that the party would go for about 2 hours. That seems to be standard these days. I guess it was a good thing that it was checked since it was only an hour. The poor kid would have been waiting for an hour to be picked up again. BAH!!!
Why don’t people make sure the thing is accurate before they send them out? That would be so helpful to those of us who have little to no clue.

thanks for saying it! I’ve got two girls - ages 7 and 9 - prime birthday party ages, in other words, and this is one of my pet peeves!
Rachel Supinger’s last blog post..Just a little rant
Yes, as you can see, it’s one of mine too! We have been dealing with this for several years now. At least at this point, ours is a young teen now. They seem to not get as many of those things as they used to. Guess teens do not see a reason to have birthday parties with their friends. For that, I am truly thankful!!
Thanks for commenting! Again, I agree with your pet peeve!
