Why do parents not even bother opening an evite?

What’s a “big Visi mom”?

If you are suggesting that High schoolers are too old to have their parents get the invites that is not the case. especially in privates

- Send invites by mail, by email, by evite and by phone (yes, all 3,4 methods). Parents are overwhelmed and will forget. Also, remind them twice. A week and a day before the event.

- Send invites 3 to 4 weeks before the event. Be very precise about the time, date, occasion, address, phone number and RSVP date.

- If it is a kid's birthday, I include parents and siblings. I provide a full hot meal, adult beverages, entertainment and goody bags.

- I do not exclude anyone. The whole class is invited. We take a lot of pictures and I make it a point to send the pictures to the parents.

Parents are busy and overwhelmed. Make it as easy for them to attend. This includes including siblings and parents, having adult beverages for the parent who is doing the birthday duty, full meal for everyone so that the parents can relax, fun entertainment so that all kids are happy to attend, goody bags for the siblings too and lots and lots of lead time and reminders to the parents.

I feel like I have been invited to your parties before. Please stop with all the reminders. And stop sending invitations by so many methods. Or substitute one for carrier pigeon to make it more interesting. I get really annoyed with all the reminders. Once is more than enough. It makes you seem so desperate about a casual kid’s party.

Trust me, low class people like you do not get invited or attend my parties.

I only use email -- no texting. I hate texts. Email does not interrupt you.
