The more people you invite to contribute to the on-line tribute the better.
Not everyone will want to contribute something for the tribute for various reasons. Not everyone will remember or make the time. Some people will send in their tribute too late. And, did you know not all email reach their destinations?
So, some percentage of the people you invite to participate in creating the tribute gift won't for one reason or another.
Therefore, you need to invite as many people as possible.
Also, the more people who contribute, the better the experience will be for everyone. The more tributes there are, the better the chance for humorous ones, touching ones, interesting ones, etc. The more there are, the more special your honored guest will feel.
And you don't want to leave out anyone who would want to write something for the tribute and miss their opportunity. They could still write it after the party, but it won't be as rewarding.
So, for these reasons and more, you'll want to invite as many potential contributors as possible.
About Me
- Tribute A Gift
- I wanted to do something special for my father's 80th birthday. I decided to make a tribute to him like my sister-in-law Robin did for her mother. Robin collected thoughts and good wishes from people who knew her mother Shirley and printed them on decorated paper.
Lots of us gathered at Shirley's house and we had a very special time. Shirley read them aloud and our hearts were touched in a powerful way. Especially Robin and Shirley.
This is what I wanted for my father. Except I did it on the web. And it could not have worked out better. My mother caught my eye while my father was reading his tributes and mouthed the words "this is the best thing you've done IN YOUR LIFE".
We occasionally laughed and cried as dad read each of his tributes. We had an evening we'll never forget. I was happy I could make my father feel so special, and proud of myself for putting it together.
Weeks later, my mother suggested I might help other people experience the same profound and warm emotions that we enjoyed with my father. And that's why I created "Tribute A Gift".
