[quote=Anonymous]I prefer gift options. I put registry link but also write please come with or without a gift, we are looking forward to spending time together on Larlos special day.  This way people don’t feel obligated to show up with something on party day. Most people send registry gifts directly to your house. I wrap them and let kids open on their birthday. I don’t tell them specifically who sent what just say these gifts are from your friends and family at your party.  This keeps eyes off who did or didn’t bring a gift by kids and other guests and those that can’t or don’t want to bring them don’t feel left out. We don’t open gifts on party day unless asked by a specific guest and then we do so privately. Kids send thank you cards to everyone that sent a gift or came to the party regardless of whether gift was received or not. We thank them for spending time with us on their special day but make no mention of gifts received. We focus instead on a fun moment from the party or something we enjoy when spending time with that person. [/quote]
