Birthday Invitations

What would you do if your kid came home with a birthday invitation from their classmate but it’s all scribbled on. Looks like the parent let the kid write the invitation and I can barely see the number. Their parent wrote their information and then let the child rewrite the information on top. Am I overthinking here but how can I even contact the parent? Is it rude they didn’t even give us an invitation where the child didn’t scribble/ cross words out all over it and try to write the information? What do I even do in this situation? Lol

I would let it slide. My child would get a good experience being included and attending a birthday so I would focus on that positive. If you’re not able to make out the number/ parents contact info, I would send a note with my kid requesting clarification or reaching out to the teacher to confirm contact details of the parents.

I would ask the teacher to contact the parent or share the parents' info so your kid can properly attend the party. Assuming they gave invites to the whole class

I don't know how old the child is but mine is turning 5 and wanted to write the invites herself. The invites are only small so I said no but I got envelopes which she was able to write her friends names on and decorate instead. She still wasn't too happy about it but it's her first year of school and I don't know lots of the parents so wouldn't have a way of reaching them incase they couldn't read it. If you think you could make out the number I would try it and see first and if not speak to school or send a note in with your child to pass on

I wouldn't say it's rude. I would guess their LO was so excited about their birthday they wanted to 'write' the invite! A bit short sighted maybe, if their contact details are illegible. I presume they ask for an rsvp? Can you talk to them in person at pickup? Parents group WhatsApp? Another parent you know? Or I'd probably just guess the number and take a chance depending on your certainty of being able to read the number.

I dont think that is rude at all.. I think that is really sweet that they involved their child with the invitations ❤️ I would do as above suggested!

This sounds like 5yo shenanigans. Mine wanted to write his Valentine’s Day cards but I was like listen lil buddy your teachers are expecting me to make it clear who it’s from 😅 I wanted to let him write it out but I was also impatient and needed to get it done. Sounds like their mom or dad was more relaxed than I am and aren’t stressed about a dang thing 🤣 More power to them, I’d just inquire to find out who it’s from and not take it personally at all. Show up at the function 🎉
