[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Thanks all. I wasn't looking for an opinion about whether I am right or wrong, weird or not weird :)
Now I see that a lot of people would not worry about the gift even if they didn't pay for the birthday person's food.
Last year she was invited, too. She brought flowers. I said I would pay for everyone's food, but guests insisted that they foot the whole bill. Fine, great, perfect.
This year I said I would pay for the tickets but not the food. Two guests still brought me gifts. She didn't. I care and I don't care what you guys think about me based on this info :)[/quote]

You certainly have a "right" to care. But you are setting yourself up for a lifetime of butt-hurtness if this is what you dwell on. You're going to lose friends. You just will. 
P.S. I call BS that you would have been perfectly happy with a balloon. That's so effing stupid and you know it. [/quote]

If it were a funny balloon I would :)
A friend gave me a fridge magnet which said something meaningful to me. I was very happy. It showed she cared and though about me and this whole birthday thing was not a drag for her. 
Of course I will not say anything to the friend with no gift. But I take it as my invitation was "just another thing on her list" and even though she claims she never inconveniences herself, I don't quite believe her. Next year, I will spare  her "just another obligation".
