Four best friends start a party-planning business in this fresh, funny tween novel from the authors of At Your Service and Breaking the Ice.

Twelve-year-old Sadie loves helping her mom with her wedding planning business, and with Sadie’s mad organizational skills, she’s a natural! That’s why it’s so devastating when her mother “fires” her after a Little Mermaid–themed wedding goes awry.

Enter Sadie’s best friends: sporty Vi, ace student Lauren, and boy-crazy Becca. The girls decide that in order to get Sadie’s mom to reconsider, they have to make her see how amazing Sadie is at party planning. Except no one’s gonna hire a twelve-year-old to plan a wedding. A birthday party, though? Definite possibility.

Before long, RSVP—your one-stop shop for the most creative parties in town—is born. Of course, Sadie can’t wait to prove herself to her mom, but the other girls also have their reasons for enlisting: Vi has her eye on the perfect gift for her hardworking dad, and Becca’s all aflush at the thought of connecting with Ryan, the new Irish cutie in town. And though Lauren thinks she’s too busy with summer studies to “officially” join, she’s willing to help out in any way she can.

But in this particular party-planning business, nothing goes according to plan! Sadie’s mom is a perpetual no-show, Vi’s archrival is dead set on ruining her summer, Becca can’t seem to get Ryan to glance in her direction, and Lauren keeps choosing studying over her friends. Is the girls’ friendship strong enough to survive a business? Or does RSVP spell the end of these BFFs?

this book is an amazing book, the girls planning a birthday party shows that they are best friends, they can agree together and show others their own very talents

this book is an excellent book about 4 girls and their friendship and how they decide what to do over the summer. if you like books that switch from different peoples lives this is the book for you hope you read...... YOUR INVITED

This is a really awesome book! I would love to plan parties with friends. I love shopping and planning things! I recommend this book for any girl.

This book isn't that bad. The title is kinda lame but the book itself is pretty good. I recommend this to elementary students. Trust me!

This was such a fun read! YOU"RE INVITED is about four best friends (Vi, Becca, Sadie and Lauren) who start a party planning business and the adventures/obstacles that they face. I loved the personalities of all of the girls. Sometimes when I read a book with multiple narrations, I find one that I really love and may speed through the others to get back to that character. That wasn't the case here. Each of the girls' chapters were unique and I wanted to know what was happening with each of them. The setting for the book was great! It was a near the beach, which is place that I would love to go on vacation. And I loved reading about each of the theme parties the girls planned...they are so creative, and sounded super fun. I highly recommend this book, and can't wait for the second book to come out.

this book was awsome! and i get seasick over seas too! its really annoying when everyone is having a good time while you are stuck in the bathroom!

This book is amazing! Four best friends decide to open a very unique party planning business. But nothing seems to go as plan. Can the girl stay friends through it all? You'll have to read it to find out.

This looks like a really cute book! I really want to read it! I love reading books about girls my own age! I hope to read this book soon!

This book is about four best friends who have started a party business, but when twelve year-old, Sadie, gets "fired" by her own mom Little Mermaid–themed wedding goes all wrong, the four friends must convince Sadie's mom to give them another chance. But problem is that nothing goes according to the plans so will the party business improve dramatically or end? I found out the answer in the book, but it's definitely not worth spoiling.
