My daughter got an invitation for a birthday from a classmate. It was mentioned on the invitation no boxed gift please. What that means?
Thank you. |

| Gift cards or cash. Are they south Asian? |

| They just want cards with money in them. That's what I assume. |

| It means they are assholes. You can specify no gifts. You can not specify type of gift. |

| I think it means they want unwrapped presents. I've seen that for showers, basically because the bride/mom to be doesn't want to open the presents so they are all just lined up and everyone can see them. Usually these mean no thank you notes either since the recipient could see the present and thank you for it then.... |

I have never seen this on a party invitation and we have 4 kids! I think I would bring a present in a gift bag.

| It means the host is trash. |

| I've seen it discussed on here for weddings. For that it means cash or gift cards. Seems really odd for a kids bday party. How old is the birthday girl? |

| It means cash-- but for a kids b day party, that is the height of tackiness. |

OP, Do us all a favor and ask the party host, then post the answer here! I am curious as to what the host had in mind. You know, so we can hurl the correct insults at him or her
Thanks. |

The party is for a 6 year old girl.

+ 1, OP - I honestly do not know what it means and am very interested to find out. Just call her (now, preferably) and ask her what "no boxed gifts" means and then post her response. Please. |

Why not? Really, you'd be doing all of DCUM a huge favor by enlightening us so when one of these invitations comes our way, we'll be prepared! |
