Are save the date cards appropriate for child birthday parties?

Is is appropriate to send parents Save the Date cards of my child's birthday party? Her birthday falls in the summer when school is out, July to be exact. I just wanted to send a simple save the date card as a reminder of the upcoming party. I do intend to mail more formal invitations 2 weeks prior to the party. Oh, she'll be 9 years old.

Are save the date cards appropriate for child birthday parties?
I think it's a great idea. Kids with summer birthdays always get the short end of the stick, if only because it's impossible to reach many of the families. I can't imagine anyone taking offense at this.





It's unique. It's different. You're thinking outside the box. Good on ya.
Reply:Save the date cards are usually for formal occasions. I think it quite unnecessary for a child's party. Even though your child's party is in the summer when families are taking vacation and other summer events, I don't think that they will change these sort of plans because of a child's party. If you are overly concerned about rsvp's, you might want to send the formal invitations earlier.
Reply:I don't know if they are appropriate or not, but I would consider that unusual and unnecessary. It's not like a formal event like a wedding, when people may have to travel to attend and need to make arrangements early. It just seems like overkill for a 9-year-old's birthday.
Reply:Just send the invite a couple weeks before the birthday ,that should be sufficient. Save the date cards are mostly used for up coming weddings, and family reunions. Unless its a 50th anniversary or 100th birthday , I wouldn't.
Reply:No. Save the date cards are for MAJOR events like weddings. Seems to me that anybody truly interested will have a good idea when the birthday is anyhow.
Reply:Its not innapropriate at all. You are just kindly reminding the people to "save the date"
Reply:I would wait until closer to the party.
Reply:IT IS!!
