Can you ever be ready for a baby?

How do you distribute invites MummaDiva? I am only at the school one day a week and don't get a chance to see all the parents on that day - as it is many just drop their children off at the gate.

QUOTE (EBeditor @ 11/04/2012, 03:53 PM)  How do you distribute invites MummaDiva? I am only at the school one day a week and don't get a chance to see all the parents on that day - as it is many just drop their children off at the gate. My daughter took them in, and handed them out before and after school. I spoke with the teacher to let her know that we were planning a party (that's how she ended up with an invite - I didn't want to have her feeling left out). We invited the whole class. I don't think I could ever not invite the whole class. I'm such a wuss though. I feel sorry for the kids that always see the other kids with invitations, but never end up with one themselves. As it was, most of the class came on the day, and for about half of the kids, it was the first time they had been invited to a birthday party for someone from school. |
