Here is one of our cards, filled in as an example. Each number shows where the information goes.
The date, start time and end time With the end time, parents know when to pick up their child.
The venue and exact address Tricky parking? Add a word about where to park.
A short note: the activity and what to wear Non-slip socks, swimsuit, old T-shirt… everyone arrives ready.
The reply-by date and a contact Our cards suggest one week before the party: you know in time how many children are coming.
A question about allergies A small line already included on our cards, to avoid big surprises on the day.
To mention when you send the card
Do parents stay or drop off their child?
Are brothers and sisters welcome?
A number to reach you on the day
Four habits of well-organised parents
The right time Send the cards about a month before the party, once the venue booking is confirmed.
Best friends first Check that the best friend is free before you even book the venue.
Discreetly Not inviting the whole class? Message the parents or hand the card over in person: nobody feels left out.
Think about languages In Luxembourg, not all parents speak the same language. Our cards can be created in French, English, German, Portuguese and Luxembourgish: switch the site language to make a second version.
