-
Local Guests.
-
Send out invitations for local guests invited to your child's 2nd birthday at least two to three weeks in advance. Sending out response cards will allow the guests to reply concerning attendance to the event. Calling ahead will also give you an idea whether or not the guests will be able to make the party, so giving at least two to three weeks to plan for it is sufficient.
-
Long-Distance Guests.
-
Send out invites for formal birthday parties or long-distance invitations at least eight weeks before the birthday. This allows guests to plan ahead concerning work or travel arrangements. Sending RSVP cards will allow these guests to respond to the invitation with more than enough time.
Bottom Line
-
Send long-distance guests invitations to the birthday party at least 8 weeks in advance. This allows the guests to make arrangements to come to the party. Those who live closer may receive invitations as little as two to three weeks before the party. Because these guests are much closer, planning time will not be as difficult.
