Bday invitations
Okay, well I'm 13/f turning 14 in july
This question is regarding my birthday party...my parents are allowing me a sleepover and i'm going to bring a few friends to an amusement park for the day. The problem is, the park admission is $20 per person and obviously that would be a large amount of money for my 4-5 friends, then my family, and me. I want my friends to pay for it, but what is a polite way to put it on the invitations? I was thinking a good way to go might be to write on there "instead of a gift, admission to the park is $20." or something of that sort. What do you guys think? Thx very much =] And yeah my bday is a month from yesterday (6/14) so I don't need the answers urgent... (like, tomorrow.) I dunno if that matters on here or what, but ok I'll stop talking now haha.

This is like something a bunch of my friends did for thier birthdays, they got limos which are REALLY expensive, and instead of a birthday gift we just all chipped in for the limo and dinner; beleive me it was worth it! She said she would have rather had all that fun than get birthday gifts. Its not really polite to ask for friends to pay for thier admission when its YOUR party, so i think it is a very good idea for you to put "instead of a gift, admission to the park is $20", becuase when you make them pay and buy a present this usually annoys parents, and kids, especially when its their money there paying with! So hope you have ltos of fun!<3

Dude, it'd be really lame for you if you had them bring money for their own admission instead of a gift. You could just put something like "We are going to the amusement park, which is $20 for admission." I doubt anyone should expect you to cover it. Plus, you miss out on the gifts that might be totally awesome. If it's too late, it's cool, but I'd hate for you to miss out.

Dear Friend,
$20 really isn't too much to expect from close friends on your birthday - especially when it replaces their gift. Write exactly that, and make sure your friends are clear on the arrangement.
See the sleepover tips in my column for more ideas.
Love, and happy birthday,
Ainsley.

What you said was a really good way to put it. You could also say something like, "Do not bring a gift just $20 to get into the amusement park." It's pretty much the same thing, I just put it in different words. If you're looking for a good amusment park, a good one is Six Flags! I bet you already have one in mind, but I just thought I would give you an idea.
If you need more help just ask!

I think that saying, "Instead of birthday present, bring 20$ for park admission." Or you don't even have to say for park admission. You can also say, "Do not bring gift, just 20$ for amusment park."
I think that will go over smoothly.
Good luck and happy very early birthday.
