[quote=Anonymous]My SN kid was very excited by getting gifts, so I didn't say anything on the invites at all. I didn't really want more stuff in the house, but it was his birthday, so I gave in. There were a couple of folks that I told privately (the families were going through some bad stuff) not to worry about a gift at all - we were just happy to have their kids at the party. Also one of the gifts my kid enjoyed the most I saw later at the $2 bin at Target. So if your kid is really excited by the idea of birthday presents and is talking about it at their party (especially if they're little kids), just don't say anything on the invite. And don't mentally keep score on who did or didn't bring anything or calculate how much they spent. [/quote]
