[quote=Anonymous]I find these threads pretty upsetting. In dcum-land if you invite everyone it’s a gift grab, if you invite less widely you are accused of excluding kids. If you give out a customized favor (which kids have done for decades), dcums are quick to judge it and call it trash and insist you shouldn’t have, even though if you didn’t you’d be the only one who didn’t provide a nice memento to your guests to remember the special milestone. It reeks of lots of judgement bordering on bigotry at times. An invitation is not a summons, you may accept or decline. If you receive a parting gift, like with any gift, you say thank you and then do what you wish with it, be it wearing or donating. Gently reminding people that these events involve a tremendous amount of work and preparation for the child and family and all of these gestures come from a good place. 
To answer the OP’s question, my kids are not 8th graders yet but they totally wear the sweatshirts and ones I’ve gotten as a close family member also get worn for years with happy memories of that child’s day. [/quote]
