[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] I've shown up at a party with a really crappy, nicely wrapped coloring book because of a confluence of bad events. I am sure the very gracious, always kind mom didn't think twice about it.[/quote] I highly doubt that the other parent didn't think twice about that. They were just being polite. But if it makes you feel better to think that...[/quote] And this is exactly why it is NOT rude to write "no gifts please" on party invitations. The argument that doing so presumes that you'd expect (nice) gifts otherwise and thus is presumptuous and rude since you have no right to expect this holds NO water. This thread had put me squarely into the no gifts please party throwing population. To have any other kind of party is a burden on guests who not only need to bring a gift but need to bring a nice enough gift.[/quote]
