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


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 1896 and 1912 (below).
The Mite Society will give a Birthday Party, Thursday evening, Sept. 15th, 1910, in the Nantmeal M. E. Church, Rev. J. S Tomlinson, pastor.
This birthday party
Is given to you;
We hope you will come,
And propose if you do,
An agreeable time.
Some good things to eat
And besides many others
A musical treat.
As we could not secure
The number of candles
To let your light shine,
We send this fandangle;
Put safely within it
As many round pennies
As years you are old.
Your light will be bright.
If you send it or bring it.
While we will keep dark,
If you wish, what's within it.
The Mite Society
With greetings most hearty,
Feel sure you will come
To your own birthday party.
