[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kids are 9 and 11 and have been invited to one no gifts party ever between the two of them. Fortunately now they're at the small party stage. It would be sad to have a 5 person party and not get gifts! At these ages, they pick out gifts for each other and it's really sweet.[/quote]

your kids sound like greedy little pigs with such a focus on gifts at those ages.[/quote]

Agreed [/quote]

This is such a bizarre take on what I posted. Let me restate using different words so that you can understand what I said, and please I would love for you to elaborate and tell me why you think my children are, in your words, "greedy little pigs".

My kids have only been invited to one party that stated it was "no gifts" and we complied by bringing just a card and a bracelet my daughter made for her friend.

Since 1st grade or so, both kids have had and been invited to small (maybe 3-5 kids) parties. The small parties are also not "no gift" parties - actually, there is never any mention of gifts on the invitation, which is pretty typical for invitations in general. My kids like picking out gifts for their friends and when they've had parties, it's been clear that their friends have picked out gifts for them, which I think is really sweet.

Now please explain how any of these kids are greedy little pigs, which I think is just a disgusting phrase to use when you're describing children, by the way.[/quote]
