[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is the exact reason why I'm keeping my son's 2nd birthday party limited to family.  They will bring presents anyway and I don't want people to feel obligated to bring a present regardless of what we say.  He has enough stuff already and the family will be adding to the stuff.  Plus, he is 2 so he will have fun with his cousins so that is all that matters.[/quote]

We did not have a kid party for my DS until he was turning 5, up until then it was family only. He had fun and all was good.

But at 5 he had been to a bunch of parties and wanted one with his friends so we invited his preschool class to a bouncy house place. We put no gifts and people were good about honorig it. That might be because we honored their no gift requests.

Look, Preschool parties meant everyone is invited and there were some where in the number of 20 parties. Thankfully, all the parents who had one said no gifts, they didn’t want 20 or so gifts for their kid and they didn’t want to give 20 or so gifts. I was not interested in buying 20 presents.

At DS 6th birthday party, we had 10 friends DS choose and people brought gifts. [/quote]
