Speaking Of Gifts - the no gift situation
A few weeks ago mention was made of not getting presents at a birthday party. Brooks' party is this weekend and I put on the invite, " your friendship is all the gift he needs." I had three parents from his class email me and either thank me or mention how nice it was to have that in. Perhaps it's his age, but we, and others are invited to so many parties and honestly most times we barely know the kid if at all. I think this is a nice way to say, " we want to celebrate with you and that is all." I'm not trying to change any social etiquette models or rewrite anything. But I did want to share with you all the kind words that we received.

Re: Speaking Of Gifts - the no gift situation
Every time I've been to a party with something about no gifts on the invite...everyone always brings gifts though. Myself included. I didn't once, and had egg on my face when not only did everyone bring a gift, the birthday kid opened gifts during the party. So I always bring a gift. I try to stick with smaller gifts, but for me...especially with my experience...I feel totally weird going to a birthday party without a gift. But I do think your phrasing is cute!
SERIOUSLY?!?!? If anyone brings a gift we would not open them during the party. That is so foreign to me that people would not be respectful of the host/ess request.
Flame away, but kids are kids once. They love gifts. I love watching them open gifts.
We give and get gifts.
It's different for adults. But kids are this little once -- I just don't see the need to take that sort of fun away.
he is getting gifts, but we're moving in 6 weeks and he doesn't need anything. Unless someone wants to follow a list, which I think is rude, or put towards an experience. Plus at this age he would be as happy with a box wrapped so he can unwrap them.
