[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]But most of the parties our kids have been invited to recently specify “no gifts.” To the point where it would now feel weird/greedy if we did not do the same next time.[/quote] To me, what's weird/crass is explicitly addressing gifts at all on the invitation. Traditional etiquette dictates that this is not done. [/quote] Correct, because it's presumptuous to think anyone is owed a gift simply for throwing a party. Gifts are never required or expected. However, because enough people use gifts as a way to gain favor or lord over others, you have to draw a line. Telling someone what NOT to bring isn't the same as telling them what to bring. [/quote]
