What would you bring?
What would you bring as a gift to:
Party #1: My good friend is giving a b-day party at her apartment for both hers and her boyfriend's January birthdays. I had already picked out a cute card for her, and I was planning to give her a Target GC since I know she loves Target. I forgot that it's also her boyfriend's b-day until I saw the Evite. I like him, but I'm her friend, not his. Do I have to bring him something too? Could I maybe address the card and GC to both of them?
Party #2: My best friend is gathering people together at a restaurant in honor of her husband's b-day. It's not really a party since they won't be paying for anything. Like the other party, I like him, but I'm her friend, not his. Do I need to give him something? Maybe just a card?
Would love to know what you all would bring to these parties, if anything. Thanks!
Re: What would you bring?
Party #1: I would probably give the gift card to both of them and maybe get it for a little more monetary value. Or you could always do the gift card and maybe a bottle of wine if they drink wine.
Party #2: I would just go with a card. If these people were really close and you had done gifts in the past then I could see buying him a gift but if you have never bought him a gift in the past I think a card would work out best.
That's what I was thinking
He's her new husband so I've never celebrated his birthday before.
Party 1: I'd just give them 1 card for both of them and maybe make the gift card for a bit more. I'm sure (or at least I hope) that they aren't doing it for the gifts anyway.
Party 2: I'd definitely just do a card. I'm not big on birthday gifts for adults anyway, unless it's someone I'm super close to. Especially since this is just a dinner gathering and you are attending and spending money to celebrate his birthday.
This. Although, on Part 2, I'd probably give a bottle of wine -it's easy, relatively cheap, and appreciated.

I am late on this, but like everyone else pretty much said...I would add a bottle of wine to gift #1 and probably just bring a card for gift #2. Especially if these aren't people you usually exchange gifts with.
