National possum day parade in Pasadena
I've got an invite for the 4th April 2009 and need an excuse. What is happening on this day that I can use?
I think the easy/polite/grown-up thing to do is just politely decline. You can even be vague and say "Sorry, but I won't be able to be there", then leave it at that. If you lie, you can be caught in that lie, then you lose a friend or at least damage the relationship.
Reply:Who is in control of your life that you have to make excuses? Politely declining invitations is very easy. And nobody is obligated to give a reason, your life is your business. Why would you have to explain your decision to someone?
Reply:There isn't anything special happening in the Uk for that date. Say you have tickets for something or just say you don't want to go. No-one can make you go!
Reply:It's a religious holiday for catholics: Saint Isidore of Seville died on that day. But he was an antisemit so you may lose a few more friends than if you just told them "no, im not coming to your lame party".
Reply:Family crisis. They feel too embarrassed to ask for details.
Or booked tickets for theatre/sports event/concert and only just remembered about them.
Reply:It's my daughter's birthday and you are invited to her party (I invited you last year).
Reply:Say I that you have a previous engagement and make sure you have in case they ask you about it later
Reply:Fact is you don't need an excuse all you have to do is decline the invitation.
Reply:Say you're terribly sorry but you've got an invitaiton to go see the Queen for lunch.
or just say thanks but no thanks!
Come'on be a man and stand up to them! lol
Reply:You don't need an excuse. You say, "I'm sorry, I will not be able to attend.
Reply:Tell them that you have an April's Fool's Day party to attend to and you've already RSVP'd. lol
Reply:tell them you have a prior engagmeent and don't go into detail
Reply:Say that your ill... its the easiest trick.
Reply:"No thank you"
Why lie?

Do I have to invite my co-workers to my wedding?
I have worked at the company over 3 years and I have 2 bosses, a team of people that work for me, as well as others that I work with daily. I don't want to invite some and not others...would it be wrong to just not invite anyone even though I interact (have some drinks on Thursday or friday night with some of them...that is the extent .. we don't have dinner parties or get togethers at each others homes) with some of them more that others? I am wondering if this will come back to bite me?
Do I have to invite my co-workers to my wedding?
It is your wedding and you don't have to invite anybody that you don't want to.
Reply:if you want them to come, but if not just say its gonna be for close family only or dont mention it. Report Abuse
Reply:NO!!
Reply:No. You're not close enough to them to be obliged.
Reply:Are you having a really formal wedding with a sit-down dinner reception? Because in this situation, it is not uncommon to invite everyone to the wedding itself, but only closer friends to the reception. If your wedding isn't really formal, I don't see the harm in just inviting everyone from work. Do you really expect everyone to show up? I don't.
Reply:Tell them it is a small ceremony, and don't invite them. But, you can't invite them to any showers or expect gifts, either!
Reply:If there are any that you're particularly close with, you can invite them. If you'd like, you can invite JUST the bosses, or you invite none at all and if anyone asks why, you say that it was only close family and you're wife didn't invite any collegues either.
Reply:You can invite who you want to.I would say if they are your friends, then invite, if co-workers only--WHY?You don't want the expense of them If they are only co-workers.Ask the bride what she wants......
Reply:you dont have to invite them. As they dont have to invite you to their celebrations.
Reply:You can invite whomever you want, it's your wedding. You shouldn't have to make excuses to yourself or others for not inviting certain people.
Reply:Don't invite any of your co-workers and keep it quiet until they find out or tell them after the wedding. Say you want to keep it small and don't want to bother them.
Reply:I think it is totally acceptable to do it the way you want. If problems arise, explain how you can't invite everyone because there is a limit to how many people you can invite. Invite only your friends. You want to be surrounded by people who care about you. I think this is the best advice I can offer you. I hope it helps. Don't regret trying to make your wedding day the best day possible. If people can't accept that, then it is their problems. Don't make it yours. Just be happy and relax. It will turn out great. Good luck and best wishes! :)
Sincerely, M.
Reply:No. Only invite people that you WANT there. Congratulations
Reply:First question would be...did they buy you wedding gifts? or are they involved with other details of your up and coming wedding, such as shower/stag party etc...It would be very rude to not invite them to the wedding if they were involved in showers or stag parties.
In the case that they are not involved, then if asked I would say politely that your wedding is a private moment that your spending with only a few close friends and family. This neatly omits casual acquaintances and co workers in a nice way. If they have bought you a gift...as a group or individually...then, you must respond with a "thank you card" in the same amount of time that your wedding guests get your thank yous. Remember both bride and groom have to sign the card, as the gift was to the both of you!
Reply:Don't invite them but then again, don't tell them there is a wedding coming up.
Reply:You do not need to invite anyone from your work. If anyone asks, tell them that you have decided on a small intimate friends and family only celebration. Since it is a private wedding, I would not talk about it at work at all. Keep work strictly professional. If you do not make it sound like a slight, I doubt if they will feel slighted nor would it come back to bite you professionally at a later date. The only thing is that you may not be invited to someone elses wedding later on. It doesn't sound like you care about that, so, no worries.
Congrats on your upcoming wedding. May the day only bring happiness.
Reply:Why can't you say it is a private affair, why invite them if you don't really like them. But I think you have the right to invite the people you are closest to if you feel like it. But thats just me.

Is it ok to invite the children of family members, but not other guest's children?
We have to keep to a certain number of guests, and children take up places at the tables, the cost of a meal, etc. Is it tacky to not invite EVERYONE'S children?
Is it ok to invite the children of family members, but not other guest's children?
Yes, that perfectly acceptable. In fact, I would say it's an excellent rule and a good way to divide your guest list. Not many people can argue with you about ONLY inviting children who are family member.
In addition, it's not the least bit tacky to not invite children of friends. If a friend has an issue that your niece or nephew was more important than her child, then she really is being selfish and unreasonable.
Most individuals are well aware that weddings are expensive and that somewhere, somehow you need to stop the guest list. If not, you'd be inviting everyone you've ever said hello to. I think making family (both adults and children) pripority of your friend's kids is a good way to gauge your guest list.
Don't feel bad. You are doing a good thing.
Reply:Absolutely not. You have to draw the line somewhere, and usually this is an area where you can cut. Invite the children that are related to you, or children of close friends that you're close to, but your co-workers children do not need to be invited. I would even keep it to my nieces and nephews, and those children I'm personally close to, and end it there. I probably wouldn't be inviting first cousin's children, unless I knew them personally and have a relationship with them.
Be aware though, some parents won't like your decision making on this one, and will choose to stay home with little Johnny and Susie. Do not be offended by this, that's their prerogative, just as it's yours to not invite the children in the first place.
I hope you have a wonderful wedding. Best wishes you!
Reply:No, it's your day and you can invite whoever you please. It's not like the other guests are going to get together and see if the other's children were invited before the wedding, they won't even notice until they get there. People will understand there is a limited amount of space but I doubt anyone would even be so bold as to question it. If you have close friends with children that you are very close to (or godchildren) it would be polite to ask them though.
Reply:It's fine to only have close family member's children, but no others.
I am always surprised to read posts on here that people are offended when they can't bring their children- everyone I know is glad for the chance for a grown-up evening out and wouldn't want to chase after their kids through a formal reception hall.
Reply:NO, not tacky at all. Some people might get upset but who cares it's your day. We had the same situation. We made a cut-off that no children under 12. This way it will limit the amount of kids running around and less risk of knocking over the cake. But no one really said anyhting about their kids not being able to come. Some actually are glad to leave their kids home to make it a night for themselves.
Reply:I think numbers have a lot to do with it. We invited only my nephew who was 7 and our ring bearer. None of our other siblings had kids and my cousins who have kids weren鈥檛 able to come anyway.
But if we鈥檙e talking about several kids, I can see the guests whose kids were excluded being miffed.
Lots of venues have children鈥檚 meals. I think that at our place, they were something like half the price of adult ones.
Reply:if you want certain people to bring their children, on the envelope of the invite write Mr. %26amp; Mrs....and family. that way they know the children are invited. If you dont want someone to bring their children, leave it addressed as Mr. %26amp; Mrs......
Reply:This exact question is why I went from some children in the wedding to NO children... people were just acting like if their child couldnt come it was the end of the world!! So I made it a night wedding, and parents night off!!
Reply:You can invite (or not invite) whomever you want; however, there will always be those who are unhappy with your decision - you need to figure out if you can deal with this.
Reply:I say no. The non-family members may resent other people's children being invited, but not their own. It's best to go all or nothing on this one.
Good luck!
Reply:No, you can not have some children and not allow others tobring theirs. Its an all or nothing type of situation really.

Rock Star Theme Adult Birthday Party. I need decor, food, invite. HELP?
The party is in March, 08 So far I have a cake in mind a guitar shape and color scheme will be black and silver.
Does anyone have ideas for decoration, party favors and invitations
Rock Star Theme Adult Birthday Party. I need decor, food, invite. HELP?
do the 80麓s rock theme...
crazy hair and crazier clothes...
with your color scheme, you can do a lot by putting the color on the walls like a concert hall...
if you can hang a disco ball.. it will help reflect the light of the silver walls,,,
make it a costume party... people will like that...
the invitations could be like....

Reply:there are a few ideas on here for rock parties http://www.teenpartyideas.com/html/misce...
Reply:The 1st thing that comes to MY mind is that reality t.v. show "Rock of Love-w/Bret Michaels". I attached a link to images from the show. Think real World digs meets Rock %26amp; Roll pad.
Lots of leapord print, animal print is rockstar. Metal decals, skull necklaces, barbed wire party favor bracelets. Black feather boas for the gals with some fishnets and guitar pics in goody bags. You can also pick up nifty little bottle openers at a good price in bulk at party stores/liquor stores.
Reply:depending if your going old school rock(GNR_KISS_CRUE) or something a little more modern...you can never go wrong with the karaoke set up...yeah its cheezy but hey...its something that everyone will remember for years to come!...you could give everyone VIP passes at the door...each pass to ask one other person to get up infront of everyone to sing a song of your choice...lol...get the birthday guy/gal to do an aerosmith song or that rockstar song by nickelback..lol....
as for the invites...make them like concert tickets.
if your feeling like spending a bit more...have cheap t-shirts printed up with the party theme name and date on them...like concert t's.
Reply:You should buy Rockstar energy drinks, decorate like a stage, leave play sets laying around, converse all stars party favors? maybe crazy whigs or hair dye sprays, go crazy.

How many girls to invite at a sleepover?
how many girls to invite and their 10 year old
How many girls to invite at a sleepover?
10 year olds arent as bad as younger 7-8 year olds.
Depending on the size of the place ur holding the sleepover in, if its a birthday party id say 5-6 maybe 8. if its just a fun sleepover id say 3-4
make sure u have games and food and movies for all of them so that they dnt get bored and wanna go home late at night.
get some nailpolish and a few dvds, a craft for them to do , and some dominos and have fun!
Reply:For me, I don't really like to many people so 4-7 people works best.
It also keeps girls from forming groups.
Reply:I think no more then 7.
Ten year olds can be a big handful.
Especially how they love to run around screaming.
Reply:More than 10 girls I think, it will not be as fun.
Reply:4-8 even number so some one wont be the 3rd wheel
Reply:as much a you want.. make sure not to much or for sure some will be left out, i'd say 3-5
Reply:5-8
Reply:it depends on how big is your house??
i would say 5-7 maybe?
Reply:seven
Reply:about 3-5. depending on how big your house is
Reply:I'd say 6, more then enough there
Reply:up to you i guess, but probably 6 people
Reply:no more than 6.
4 would be better
Reply:maybe bout 7
