Birthday Party, Parryville Methodist Church, Feb. 18, 1896

Birthday Party, Parryville Methodist Church, Feb. 18, 1896
Church groups and other organizations used variations of this poem to invite members to "Birthday Party" gatherings that were both social get-togethers and fundraising events. See additional examples from 1910 and 1912 (below).

Birthday Party, in the Methodist Church, Parryville, Tuesday evening, February 18, 1896, at seven o'clock. Invitation.

This "Birthday Party" is given for you, 'tis something novel, something new.
We send to you a little sack--please either send or bring it back
With as many cents as you're years old, we vow the number will ne'er be told.
Methodist people with greetings hearty, fell sure you'll attend your own birthday party.

Benefit of the Ladies' Aid Society of the Methodist Church. Cake and coffee free.

Birthday Party, Nantmeal M. E. Church, Sept. 15, 1910

Birthday Offering, Cookman M. E. Church, Oct. 15, 1912
