[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No, you don't mention gifts at all. Demanding a handy down gift is bizarre. We regularly purge stuff so more than likely if my children are not playing with it, we pass it on. Enough with the no gift, charity gift or what ever demand you have.[/quote] FWIW, I wrote to Carolyn Hax and asked for her take on saying anything about gifts on an invitation. She said she knows the old rule that it's rude to say anything, even no gifts, but that people seem to like helpful information such as "no gifts" so it's fine. I'm a rule follower but this rule just needs to die. I'm not suggesting people demand you provide gifts for a particular cause, but saying no gifts has got to be ok. So, OP, I'd say no gifts and just mention to friends that maybe you can do a toy swap or something, outside the birthday context.[/quote]
