[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My DD was invited to many parties, and many kids came to hers. Most didn’t bring gifts; those who did brought something small and/or meaningful (my DD loves pickles and her friend bought her a jar). Most of the adults gave ~50 with a few random 100’s thrown in. Some didn’t give a gift at all. Everyone seemed to have a nice time. [/quote] This is kind of how our circle rolled. Some had parties, some didn’t. There was never ANY expectation to give or receive a gift (material or $). In fact, some invites specifically requested NO gifts….but people don’t listen (we didn’t and gave when/what we wanted). We only attended (or invited) friends we’ve known for 10+ yrs (plus a very few HS-only classmates). We are fortunate, though, to have many people fit that category. ☺️ All the events were joyous, sentimental, and special to/for each honoree. That, to me, is the point. [/quote]
