[quote=Anonymous]My 12 year old has a group of about 7-8 close friends. For the past 4 or so years, I have let them do whatever they want for her birthday party. We invite them all for a sleepover, feed them, and go with the flow. They always, always want her to open her presents first. I think the idea of opening presents afterward makes sense for huge parties, parties held at a venue, or parties for young children. But for older kids with smaller parties, it's a great opportunity to learn how to it works. The will find themselves in the same situation at bridal and baby showers in the future. It's important to learn how to be the gracious gift recipient and also to be the observer acknowledging the value of each gift and the thought behind it. [/quote]
