So What Happened?

thanks ladies. I did the e-vite. I also have personal cells to follow up. I am inviting the girl who was in the feud. It's a 1 1/2 hour party and the parents will be there, I think it'll be fine!!

The good thing about doing the evite is that all girls involved in the feud will be able to see who is invited, and someone can opt out if they don't want to be around the others.

1: should be fun. But make sure you go and let them know you'll be doing a party this way they can reserve space for you.
2: I'd mail invites 4 weeks ahead n then do an evite 2 weeks before party for RSVP because you may need a solid head count
3: if you think the one girl will cause issues at the party then I say don't invite her because you don't want a big fight to happen in the middle of the party

1. I have never done a party there but sounds fun!!
2. I do FB invites ALL the time and it works out great and saves on postage :) And I USUALLY get responses ASAP.
3. I would not invite the girl that has fueld with the other girls UNLESS your daughter is really wanting her there. If she is closer to the other three girls, I would explain to her that you do not want any fighting.

Never done the pizza party. Sounds neat!

E-vites are great these days. I think they are proficient, as are phone calls to parents. They also help avoid kids feeling left out if they aren't invited.

I honestly think that by the time the party arrives the girls will have worked out their differences. Perhaps it may be a good teaching moment.

1.) Nope! But I bet it's a good time.

2.) I would doe-vites if you know the families and can follow up personally.

3.) I'd invite all of them. My daughter was in a feud with another little girl and was not invited to a birthday party. My daughter was crushed. The other girl was and she ruined the party - the family quickly realized who the problem was. My daughter is not perfect, but she was not the one to blame for the issue there, and they blamed her without talking to us first. I'd invite all or none of them.

1. I haven't but it sounds like a great idea!

2. E-vite only is the way to go. Follow up with a phone call to anyone who doesn't view the invitation in case you got a bad e-mail address

3. Invite them all. It's up to the guests to be civilized to each other.

3) You might need to not invite all four girls.

Be careful about inviting the "3" and not the "1" - it could be that the "1" is being bullied by the "3", etc. Would be sad then to have her be the un-invited one!! You might need to get more details about the "feud" to make an informed decision re: who to invite.

answers from New York on

1. I love CPK -- I'm sure it will be good.

2. E-vites only is fine. Might be confusing to have both.

3. Friend conflicts at this age often blow over quickly. There may be an entirely new "feud" by the time the party rolls around! If your daughter wants all the girls there, then invite them all. As J.B. said, "it's up to the guests to be civilized to each other." Their nonsense should not influence who your daughter has at her party. Good luck!

1. No.
2. I do evites.
3. Let her invite who she will and keep an eye on the girls in question. If they misbehave, you can always call their parents to have them picked up.
