Both kids are invited to party

[Anonymous]

My 4 months old & 3 year old are both invited to our friend's kid 1st bday party. Should we get 2 gifts or 1 bigger gift? Not sure if it matters or not, but the party venue charges by headcount (for any kids over 1 year old). And, for birthday card, should we put our children names on it as well or just parents name on the bottom?

One gift, signed: Mom, Dad, Kid, & Baby. Nobody is expecting a gift from a 4 month old who doesn't even count as an attendee under the venue's rules.

Agree with every single thing this poster said.

If more than one of my children are attending a party I do a larger gift. In this case since your youngest is 4 months old I don’t think you need to worry. If the birthday child is a family friend we sign from the whole family on the card, but for a school/daycare friend I would just have the kids write their name (and then translate since your child is 3 and it’s unlikely they can write their name legibly!)

One gift absolutely.

One gift, sign the card "The Smith Family"

Seriously? How is this even a question? You have a 4 month old!

4 month old equals sleep deprivation. And the OP is a good person who is worried about being kind.

Thank you! We will do one larger gift & sign the card with our family.

I’m sorry, no excuse. In what universe is a 4 month old considered an actual guest of a birthday party. The 4 month old would not be getting a treat bag or be counted as a number. So, no, no extra gift.

No, it’s simply factual.
