[quote=Anonymous]To my mind, the purpose of a party is to celebrate with friends, have fun, and eat cake :) DS is turning 2 in a few weeks and we're doing a family only party still at this point so it's not an issue for us. But when he gets bigger, I wouldn't want to put that burden on his friends' families. I'm sure we'd love whatever we bought, but really it's the presence that makes a party not the presents. I went to very few parties when I was little because my folks were broke and they couldn't afford to buy presents for everyone. Of course, I also bought the dresses for my bridesmaids when we got married and since all but 1 had to travel for the wedding I told them that I considered the travel to the wedding and their hotel stays to be their wedding gift to me. We were all broke grad students and I didn't want to be the reason they were eating ramen for a month.[/quote]
