[quote=Anonymous]I'm so grateful to the first parent in our class who started no gift parties. Everyone else followed and it became the norm. In our experience, the people from class always followed the rule (with many bringing handmade cards as others noted). There were 18 kids in the class. I just don't that much more stuff. We have many family members and friends who like to send my child a little something for birthdays so as it is I feel like we're constantly opening Amazon boxes that week. Someone commented they think stating no gifts is rude. It did feel a bit odd to me at first, but I think it's polite because you're making it easier for people to attend your party and taking away the comparison of who gave which gift. It's a feeble attempt to make the party about having fun with friends versus the gifts.[/quote]
