Should I invite my teacher to my birthday party?

Okay, I'll be turning 16 next week and I'm having a little party at a hotel, and I had this English teacher last year, and shes like a second mom to me and I eat in her room everyday at lunch, so we've kept a connection, anyways Would it be okay for me to invite her to my party? Well the whole thing is a sleep over but I would mainly just want her there when I blow out my candles but she would be welcomed for the whole thing I guess, but that might be weird, but what do you guys think?

She is special to you, so go ahead and invite her. Don't be surprised if she politely declines your invitation, but I know she would be grateful if you asked.

Reply:There is nothing wrong with socializing with your teacher in certain circumstances--especially if your parents know her as well. If she attended your place of worship, would you ignore her or chat with her if you saw her there? Or, if you ran into her in the grocery store?





Over the years, many teachers have made the difference in their student's lives--so, letting her you know that you respect her and that you would be honored if she attended your party, would be perfectly OK. Ask your parents to make the invitation to her. You just wouldn't invite her to the sleep over part. If she says that she can't make it, don't take it personally.
Reply:Absolutely not! And if you did extend the invitation, your teacher should decline, from a professional point of view. You shouldn't be with a teacher during lunch hours on a daily basis.......you should be out socializing with kids your own age.


Find a new role model outside of school that you can trust like an aunt or neighbour.
Reply:There is nothing wrong with being friends with your teacher, but she is an adult. The two of you must get along really well, and you must have interesting things to talk about, but a birthday party is a bit juvenile. Your teacher would probably feel out of place. If you wanted to spend time outside of school with this teacher, then invite her to dinner or something. You may be close friends with her, but that does not put her at the level of your peers.
Reply:Depends on your friends/ party. I would go with a no, but it is your life.
Reply:I think it's fine. Heck, it's your party anyway. When my brother and I were baptized (I was 13), we had a dinner celebration at a restaurant afterward. It was my family and the families of our godparents. I also invited my math teacher from the previous year because she tutored me in the summer to prepare me for an advanced math class in 8th grade. She didn't charge us anything for her time. So I wanted to have her be a part of the celebration. For the next few years we kept up by mail. So go for it!
Reply:As a former elementary school teacher, I used to get birthday invitations all the time (from my class of second graders). Even though I didn't attend, I did appreciate their thoughtfulness.





You would probably make her day by inviting her (I doubt that kind of thing is nearly as common in the upper grades), so go ahead. She probably won't attend, though.

Reply:that's a nice relationship you have with your teacher just the way you talk about her makes me know you really like her and you guys are really close i think she would feel sad if you don't invite her to this party i really think you should invite her to the party part of it not the sleep over that would be wierd
Reply:It's a little inappropriate for you and your teacher to socialize outside the classroom. I'd be surpised if she'd feel comfortable accepting your invitation.
