[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here.  So if you were a parent who threw a no-gifts party that my kid attended earlier this year which we did not bring a gift to, how would you feel about getting an invite that didn't mention gifts vs one that said "gifts optional" or "gifts are not necessary!" or something like that?  Would you care either way?  [/quote]

No.  I don’t care and give it zero thought to whether we got a gift from them earlier in the year or whatever.  I just really don’t care about giving or getting birthday gifts for child parties.  If I don’t see “no gifts” on the invitation I go out and get
a $25 gift card to our local book store that I drive by several times per day.   But if I forgot to, I wouldn’t be feel bad either.  Every single child we are friends has plenty of stuff and gets gifts from family.    Birthdays with friends are for celebrating together.  My kids make cool homemade cards for all birthdays, as do many of their friends.  These are saved and treasured [/quote]
