[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My nephew had a big first birthday party, and my sister made the invitation sort of like a letter from him describing his first year.  At then end she said wrote something like, "And I'm excited to see you so need need to bring me a present (my sister will just take them anyway)."  I think several people still brought gifts, though.  And yes, you should send thank you cards to people who bring gifts no matter what...sheesh!

Also, if you're planning to acknowledge your kid's birthday at this party in any way (e.g. cake etc), then you should let people know that the purpose of the party is to celebrate the birthday.  Otherwise it'll just be weird.  People will be confused and may feel bad, like they should have brought a gift.[/quote]

OP here. Thanks for all of the suggestions! I appreciate them all. 
(And just to clarify, I wasn't the one who asked about writing thank you notes to people who still bring gifts. Leave it to DCUM to bring out the crazy snark!)[/quote]
