But it's [b]not polite[/b] to tell your party guests what they need to or should not bring. [b]It's never okay[/b]. Etiquette wise [b]it's not even appropriate[/b] to put on the invitation not to bring a gift. If a guest inquires you can say that their presence is the only gift you'd want but otherwise i[b]t's not polite[/b] to give guests instructions.

If OP wants a teaching moment she should have her daughter organize a food drive, fund raising event, donate her own time. Doing a b-day party and asking for food donations really is not teaching her much. She'll feel "good" about giving when she actually didn't do any giving herself.

PP again - I did want to mention that I don't judge OP. I think her heart is in the right place...I just have differing opinions on the subject.[/quote]

Of course you're judging the OP.[/quote]

She asked for feedback and I provided it.  I don't think she is a bad person or has bad intentions.  If my friend had a party for her kids and requested food donations I would do it with a smile on my face because I would know she means well.  I wouldn't mention my opinion on the subject to anyone.[/quote]
