[quote=Anonymous]My kid has been to plenty of parties where the child asks to bring something for a charity (usually the animal shelter...) -- I don't think it's at all rude. Here's what I would say: "Your presence is the only present we desire! However, if you would like to give Larla a gift, she would very much appreciate your making a donation to UNICEF to help the children who have suffered from the earthquake in Nepal." Alternatively, if you goal is just to really help...I might suggest a charity closer to home so that the children can actually pick something out, wrap it, and bring it (which kids enjoy). For instance, books for a children's shelter or children's hospital; toys for a woman's or children's shelter; new kids shoes for the same (more expensive so only if your friends are the spendy type), etc. [/quote]
