This type of thing has never crossed my mind. Maybe I am toooo lax about these things, but I could never see putting something like that on an invitation, unless my child was having issues with his current health status.
I do remember a time though, where one of my friends son had pnemonia, and my child had been over their house playing with her other non-sick sibling. This made me upset. I tried to politely bring the subject up, and she immediately got real defensive and said, "Well the Doctor told me it was not contagious"........but I still did not want my CF child about her sick kid. But then I'm sure he's been around pleanty of other sicker kids at school, that I never even knew aobut, so I guess that is why I don't get hung up on other sick kids.
Colds are colds, maybe my opinion will change or should the day his we have health issues.

In my experience, many parents are ignorant of this issue. People always say to me "oh, its just a little runny nose, maybe allergies", or "they've been on antibiotics, so its ok". My son went to birthday party once where they bobbed for apples. There was a kid with thick green boogers running all over his face (how gross is that?) I wouldn't let Josh participate and people treated me like I was being hysterical. It drives me crazy!!!!
It doesn't matter what you say or how you word it, people will be offended because although they are well-meaing they are still ignorant. I would include the message like Melissa said, but be prepared to get some attitude.
Good luck!

I like what both JennifersHope and Melissa said. I would definitely say something. If you can keep it humorous or whimsical it will cut back on negative reactions. Although if someone is going to be offended and not-understanding over something like that I wouldn't be associating with them much, anyhow!
Can you put "Friends invited, but not Germs"??? Maybe you can blend Jennifer & Melissa's idea's, but I understand exactly why you want to do this!
