My daughter just started preschool. There are 5 boys and 1 girl. She has made friends with the other little girl and talks of her frequently. I would like to invite my daughters new friend,to her 3rd birthday party but have never met her parents. Is it ok to email them and sort of introduce mysel?. This will be a small party and I dont want to invite the whole class, just a handful of kids is good for her age (3).
This is all new to me, any advice?
I emailed the little girls mom and she was so happy I did. She told me her daughter talks about how much she likes my daughter as well, and they are so happy to be invited!!!
We did this this summer, and I just gave the kids the birthday party invites (my DS gave them out at school). Some of the parents I met at the party, some emailed me before hand.
It wasn't really a big deal. I think everyone was excited to meet their kids' friends and parents.
In other words, I think any approach you take is perfectly appropriate.
Sure, just email them, or call them, introduce yourself, ask for their mailing address because your daughter would like to invite their daughter to her birthday party!
Ah, the first of many birthday parties to give and to attend. Just send an invitation, via e-mail if you are concerned that the others will feel left out. Enjoy!
Yes, email them or hopefully you can bump into them at either pick-up or drop-off to introduce yourself. Have a good time!
An email if fine, assuming you have her email address. It will be a great time for you to spend a little time with the parents here and there, as you entertain the other party guests.
Invite them and write a note that you are looking forward to meeting them. That they of course are welcome to attend also.
I would, if you have their email address. Or ask the teacher to forward your email address if school policy is that they can't give it out. Or, if you have a business card, tuck it into the child's bag with a note saying, "Hi, The girls seem to be good little friends. I'd like to chat with you about my daughter's birthday. Here's my contact info."
Yes, email the parents. If you have a chance, try to talk to them at dropoff or pickup one day this week and get to know them a little bit. Have fun!
I would advise you to skip the birthday party invitation and simply invite the little friend and her mom to come over for a playdate!
Enjoy the party!
Just invite her. You will meet if and when the Mom brings her to the party.
InvIte them! We just had a party for my youngest at a local park on Sunday, and I invited all 17 of his preschool classmates -two of whose parents I only know in passing. 15 of the families came, so I now know most of them much better!
