[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I've been to a few no gift parties lately, and guests have brought gifts anyway.  It made me feel like a total shit for not bringing anything.  Just don't mention anything on your invitation.  If you don't want to keep the presents, donate them to someone who can use them.  No gift parties make me think that the hosts are trying too hard to be low maintenance/not wasteful like the rest of us.  It's a great idea in theory, but know that you are creating a really awkward situation for someone who takes you at your word (i.e, Me).

Anyway, it's your child's first birthday.  Enjoy it and don't overthink the details!  Congratulations![/quote]

+1 I followed the host's request but still felt like shit. I just don't address the issue at all on my invitations. [/quote]

If you feel awkward for complying with the invitation, that's on you, not the host. Why would you feel insecure about doing what was asked?

If I show up to a no gifts party and I am the only one without a gift, I think, my goodness, I am the most polite person here. [/quote]
