[quote=Anonymous]I know there have been threads about this before, but this is the first year DD is at a full time preschool and there have been a number of full class parties.  The first few invites included nothing about gifts so we brought gifts.  Now there are a couple that say "no gifts necessary" or "no need to bring anything but yourselves."  These statements are more ambiguous to me than "no gifts please".  I know if we don't bring a gift and half the class does, DD will be her inquisitive 4yo self and ask "why didn't we bring a gift?" in front of everyone. :P

And now we are planning her party and I don't know what I should do!  Gifts AREN'T necessary in my view, because she has a ton of stuff already and will be receiving even more from her grandparents and aunts/uncles.  She does not need gifts from each of her 20 classmates.  Seeing as we will be immediately following the parties described above, do I follow their lead and include the "no gifts necessary" language?  Or will I just be frustrating the other parents who wonder what I mean by that?![/quote]
