Who should we invite to 1st birthday party?

Okay, we are going to have our family there but I guess my question is should it just be the family that is in our daughter's life? She has 2 grandparents that haven't been a part of her life (one who has only seen her a few times, never calls about her) another who was excited during pregnancy, then after birth almost acts like they dont know that our child exists. Should they still be invited since they are grandparents?

I also think you should invite those Grandparents. It sounds like a situation that I have been in. If they are not invited it will just be an excuse on why they are not in your child's life. They will put the blame on you! Invite them and see if they show up.


Good luck!
Reply:HI! My personal opinion is that you could still invite those grandparents as they are family. That way, you have done the kind thing and put the ball in their court. Once the invitation is issued it is up to the grandparents if they come or not. Reality is that it would be great if they were involved in your daughter's life so maybe this will help towards that end, and if not, what do you have to lose-nothing but a minute spent filling out an invitation. Hope you have a fun party! :)
Reply:It's hard not to invite grandparents... especially if they live nearby. Birthdays are hard because you don't want to offend anyone... I'd say to invite them anyway. If they don't care, they won't come... and if they do at least your little one will get another gift or two out of it. Tough one though, good luck!
Reply:Close family and friends... I invited my mom, dad, bros, etc... but also I invited my Grandma and a few people with small kids... we had about 20 people come....


About the grandparent situation for you... you need to follow your gut on that one... if you don't want to invite them you don't have to... if you think it would cause drama than send them an invite and it's up to them if they wanna be loving enough to come...ya know?
