Gift or no gift?
We are going to a 2-year old birthday party this weekend and the invite says "no gifts please". Would you still take something, small?
I don't want to be disrespectful to their request, but it just feels so strange to not take a gift...especially if a bunch of other people do...

I am just like you, I would feel strange not taking somthing. But, if they said no...I am with Emily. I would take a card and maybe a gift card in a small amount.
I would still bring a gift, but leave it in the car. If you see others arriving with gifts, then bring yours in.
I personally would never go empty handed. I'd bring a birthday card with a gift card inside.
I am glad you asked this question. I wanted to do this for Marley's upcoming birthday. She has so much stuff & we just don't need more. But I don't want to offend anyone (or sound ungrateful) so I'm just casually telling people "no gifts" when they ask what to get her. Honestly having them come celebrate her birthday is the greatest gift they could give.
Thanks everyone. I think I'm going to take a card with a little gift card in it. That can't hurt too much!
I also feel the same way as you Brandy...they have too much stuff as it is...they really don't need anything more. I still have Xmas gifts in the closet because he got so much stuff. I bring a new gift out once a month.
I would take a card and a book ... kids always need books!
That or a nice plant for mommy maybe?
Matt's cousin requested the same for their girls 1st b-day. she is a teacher and said that she has pretty much every book and does not need any more toys.
We still felt strange arriving empty handed, so we gave them a savings bond....$25 each girl.
i wonder if they are simply being mindful of the economy and their guests with this request.
in any case, i can't attend a party empty-handed either. ?a card and gift card would be my choice, too.?
