Q: Hi, I need ideas for my beach party/bonfire/barbeque. I'm turning 13 on August 16. A few questions below: 1. When should I send invitations? 2. What should be the RSVP date? 3. Should I mail the invitation, or hand deliver? I'm thinking of either doing a simple invitation with the necessary info on the theme colored cardstock. Or I can do a message in a bottle. 1. Where should I buy the bottle? 2. What should be in it?
A: 1. I would say send invitations at least a week before and no later so people can work it out, but no earlier than two weeks before so people don't forget 2. I find it better not to put an RSVP date on there, but it kinda depends on how many people you plan to invite 3. Mailing invitations is a lot better, due to time and where they live, unless all the people you're inviting live in your neighborhood, then you save on postage......... I think you should do just a simple invitation with info, because you can get cool designs on invitations. Also you could add your own touch to the cards by decorating them yourself.........message in a bottle is creative but complicated......like mailing and finding supplies............ hope this helps.................... o........and happy 13th! it's a big one...............hope it's great!!
