in Babies: 9 - 12 Months

To put sizes on first birthday invites?  

at first instinct i think YES DUH do not ASSUME she is getting gifts.

but my mom said people might appreciate it as they won't have to guess or ask... 

so what are your thoughts?  have you seen/done this?  is it super tacky?

TIA!

    Eh. I'd lean on the side of waiting for people to ask.

    My vote is tacky.

    For the most part, I would assume you are inviting people that know your daughter and have seen her fairly frequently. They will have some idea whether she is big for her age, average, or on the small side and buy accodingly if they choose to gift clothing. Or if they are that concerned they will ask and you can provide that information when they do.

    And if they gift you a completly incorrect size that you can't use you can easily return the item or hold onto it if too large and she will grow into it. DD is a peanut and she has a lot of larger sized clothing hanging out in her closet and dresser waiting for her to finally reach that size.

    Yes but I wish it was OK. So many people who have kids and see LO multiple times a week bought too small clothes for him for xmas. It's annoying honestly. For some reason, people don't ask.

    Yes, it's tacky.  You can put specific info on a shower invite (and even then, just where you are registered), but after that you must let the chips fall where they may.  Hopefully if you get clothes that are too small you can just exchange them, but it's rude to put that on the invite.

    Tacky.  Wait for people to ask.  Putting sizes on the invite makes me feel like I MUST buy you clothes in a specific size (or at least that you expect me to).

    We put it on ours, but we only sent them to family. I wouldn't have if we were sending them to friends

    Kinda tacky...just like if you've ever gotten a bridal shower invitation with the brides measurements and undergarment sizes....Aca-awkward to me!!! I would just make sure that all the grandparents are schooled in what sizes LO wears incase anyone asks. Its also the same when you're sending out shower invitations, to never include where you're registered...the school of etiquette says that if people are interested they'll ask the host of the shower or someone who may know, I would say those rules still apply. Sorry!
