1st Birthday Party-WWYD
I have a friend had a baby a year ago March. Although not planned, her sisters had babies around the same time too. All three are about a month apart from each other. She decided to go in with her sisters and all are having a 1st birthday party for all three children. Along with family, I am one of a few friends of theirs who is invited to this party. I know both of her sisters very well, but don't really want to buy gifts for the other two children. What would the proper etiquette here? Buy gifts for all three or just the child whose parents I am friends with?
WWYD?

Ditto
Good point Oct11bride03. I know you can't go to a party and not bring gifts! I will buy gifts for all.
Tritto.
ehhh.... i don't think you have to buy gifts for all three.
it would be nice, but certainly not required.
Hm, I don't know. My sister has a joint birthday party for her two sons every year, and each kid invites a few of their own friends. The family members buy for both kids of course, but the friends just buy for the kid they know.
But the book idea is a nice compromise to make sure your bases are covered.

I would. I was in a similar situation over the holidays, and I brought a gift for my friends sister's kid...
she was absolutely shocked that I did it and she was so grateful. In my mind, it's just a little good karma, and the book idea is perfect
!
Another cute idea would be t-shirts to your local sports (hockey? football?) team...you can usually find them for a very reasonable price.
EDIT: I can't type today.
This is exactly my point. Most people would assume you wouldn't buy a gift but a book is a few dollars and not only a nice gesture but a great gift that they'll have for a lifetime. Heck, right now I'm reading K some books from my childhood.
The thing I would ask myself is, would I be invited to these kids parties if it was combined with my friend's baby's party...if the answer is no I don't think you need to triple gift. A book or another gift for 5-10 would be nice
