(PreSchool) Graduation Party
So, Connor is going to graduate (::gasp::) Pre School in a couple weeks.
The school has a ceremony at 10am and then a picnic in the park for families...
Since we have so many grandparents and other family members coming I thought it would be really nice to just skip the school picnic (he will still see those friends at school on the following Monday...) and have a "party" at our house.
I keep using the term party loosely bc I don't want it to be a fancy thing, and I really don't want him to get gifts... he doesn't need toys or anything - just thought it'd be fun to have a celebration afterwards.
So, I ask thee Nesties..
Do I flat out tell the family no gifts?
Re: (PreSchool) Graduation Party
Yeah I would! Just say exactly what you said above! I'd they still choose to bring him a gift there isn't anything you can do about that though!
I agree with Lisa, I would tell them it's a casual thing and you'd rather no gifts. If they bring gifts, just let it be.
totally agree
Our ceremony isn't until 3:30 and all they are having is snacks after so we are taking both sets of parents out to eat after (I don't feel like cooking. lol). I'm not calling it anything other than "lets go eat after" but I know my family isn't going to listen to me about gifts no matter what I tell them. My mom has already asked me what she could get A for graduation. ::sigh:: I told her if she must get something to get a very small thing or give him money for his bank.
I would tell them no gifts for the reason you said. its not a party and that you just want to have something to eat together after the ceremony to celebrate.
