[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We are Indians. We will always have food for everyone at any party. We will have enough food to even pack leftovers for you.

I cannot fathom the poverty of hospitality I encounter here. There is no excuse to be a poor host. It is much better to not have a party for your child. The world does not owe your kid presents. You do. So, don't have a party, but buy your kid presents from the money you would have sprung for the cake.

This. +1000.

We are Indians too, and our parties always have lots of food, and our invites always say : 'Gifts not necessary or No gifts please!'

Which is something some ppl will take issue with here, no doubt, but it's what we really mean. 
We want our kid to hang with her friends, and we want to share some food with her friends and their parents. We could care less if you bring us anything. 
If you are going to celebrate your birthday with friends, be a good host. Otherwise, have a small celebration with your family and do something special with your kid. [/quote]
