[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sorry, but I tend to disagree with the PPs.  I looked at the website, and it seems like a decent idea to me.

More environmentally friendly than all that excess trash created by wrapping paper, tissue paper, gift bags, etc.  And, all the extra plastic crap that comes along with each individually wrapped toy.

Just as you say that you'd like your son to have the benefit of choosing a gift.  [b]I'd say that the person who's party it is gets to decide how she celebrates.[/b]

If you don't want to go along with it, I'd say just say so and tell that you don't like the idea.  Otherwise, just go along with it.

A good way to teach your own child that different people do things differently.  A lesson in tolerance.[/quote]

I agree with you except the part in bold - the person whose party it is decides how to celebrate, yes, but cannot dictate whether guests give gifts at all, or if so, what gifts they give.  A gift is just that - a [b]gift[/b].  It is given freely, by the giver, if it is given at all.

If you invite a person to celebrate your event, you dictate how the event goes, but you do not dictate how your guest chooses to honor you (or not).[/quote]
