[quote=Anonymous]Op, take a small gift like the card games you suggested. Every child loves gifts. The parent, not the child, put “no gifts” on the invitation. Maybe they want everyone to feel comfortable attending even if they cannot bring a gift. Cannot being a gift could mean cannot afford to or parents were too busy to make a special trip to a store or order something. It happens. The first “no gifts” birthday I took a child to my child was in the very small minority that didn’t bring gifts. Lesson learned. I’ve hosted several “no gifts” birthdays when I’ve invited the whole class. All, except the one last year, most children arrived with gifts. The one last year I planned with only a week’s notice to parents so I assume people didn’t have time, which was completely fine and the reason I said “no gifts”. [/quote]
