send for/to

[dido4]

I sent the invitations to my parents.

Q1:Is it ok to use for? Does it make different from the sentence?
-->I sent the invitations for my parents.

Q2:Q:Are these ok too?
-->I brought the invitations for my parents.
-->I made the invitations for my parents.

Thank you

I think both are correct, but are not the same.

I sent the invitations to my parents.
They were sent to his/her parents' places (invitations implies they live separately, I guess).

I sent the invitations for my parents.
The invitations were meant for his/her parents but might be sent not directly to them.

I brought the invitations for/to my parents.
The same difference as above.

I made the invitations for my parents.- OK

<They were sent to his/her parents' places (invitations implies they live separately, I guess).>

Not at all.

I sent the invitations to my parents so they could post them on for me. 120 in total. It was much cheaper that way.

-->I brought the invitations for my parents.
-->I made the invitations for my parents.

Thank you

Think about why we can say "I brought the invitations for my parents to my parents'.
