[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is OP.  Thanks for all of the responses.  I intentionally made it vague, but it's actually my DD who was the birthday kid.  I don't care about how much gifts cost, we got a range and I appreciate all of them, but the twin gift gave me pause only because I'm wondering if the mom intentionally cheaped out as some kind of passive insult.  I got a weird vibe from her a couple times at preschool although we've barely interacted.  After that, she emailed to thank me for the invitation and asking what DD liked.  I made a couple suggestions including books (since they're easy) and she didn't respond.  The morning of the party, she emailed to say the sitter would be bringing the twins, which I thought was a little weird since they're involved parents who come to every optional preschool activity such as chaperoning, but whatever.  The twins brought a small $8 gift that was neither of my suggestions, which in itself is totally okay.  Their family seems well-off.

Anyway, what do you think?  F-U from mom because she hates me for some unintended slight?  Or just par for the course for a weird cheap, rich mom?  I'm handwriting Thank You cards to all of the families including the twins since they did bring a gift.  WWYD?  Make it less sincere-sounding?  I try to write thoughtful TY cards, but thinking about just saying "Thank you for [___], Larla likes it!"  #firstworldproblems[/quote]
I get where you're coming from and I'd probably go out of my way to reciprocate in kind.  :x  I think Aldi has some really cheap pre-written cards that might be more up old girl's alley. ;)[/quote]
