[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don’t think it’s “rude” but be prepared for some kids to not come who you may want to be there if they need to bring a gift. If you say no gifts then it’s much easier (and cheaper) for people and you will have a better response. Personally I’d only go to a gift party if it’s one of my kids very best friends. Otherwise just not worth the stress.[/quote]

How old are your kids? Mine are in elementary and they love getting gifts at their party, and they love picking out gifts for their friends. [/quote]

NP, but mine are in elementary and they love having a big party with a lot of kids. They don’t want to receive 30 gifts, many of which they won’t use and are duplicates of things they already have. They would rather be taken to a basketball game or eat at benihanas. They also enjoy picking out gifts for their friends who have gift parties. Why is it so hard to grasp that kids are different? One of my kids prefers fish and shellfish over beef and chicken. The other prefers tofu to lobster. Not all kids want so many gifts. [/quote]
