[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Bring a card, bring nothing, bring money, or bring a gift.

But the host is trying to say, gifts are not needed, don’t go out of your way to do something, the kid has enough, etc.

I only done this once on roughly 31 birthdays (collective between 3 kids).

I don’t regret doing to, but it made me feel worried others would read into it. As a third kid, he really doesn’t need more stuff. Actually, I’ll be honest, it was the only time I’ve put a note “it’s a fiver party. No gifts needed. If you you want, bring $5 for the birthday body.”

He had $50 or so and bought a huge dinosaur which was so fun compared to a bunch of random little toys. Honestly, he loved it.[/quote]

And some people didn’t bring gifts. Just a card, or nothing. It was not noticeable. Of the dozen of friends there, I don’t remember who or what. He just enjoyed the party and then spending money afterward. He had also used money from both grandmas for a larger gift. He had received gifts from us.

I would rather this than what I did today which is hunt Walmart for 20 minutes looking for something that will probably irritate the mom, or maybe the kid won’t be excited about it.

Lately I do a $15/20 gift card and a $5-6 toy to go with it.

If it’s my party, I prefer $0 or $5 than a Walmart gift.[/quote]
