[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Technically, you are not supposed to mention gifts on an invitation. BUT, I do think this is a nice idea. And even if the cynics are right and the parents pushed the kid that way - imagine the joy the birthday girl is going to get from completing this donation. That's a lesson that will stay with her all of her life. The joy of giving to others in need. I think it's wonderful.[/quote] Not really, because she isn't giving anything that is hers or that has any value to her. If she received birthday presents then donated them, then I agree it is a good lesson. But taking soup cans and pasta out of a bin people dropped it in at her big bash and giving it to poor people isn't going to have much meaning and is kind of disrespectful. [/quote] It teaches them more about the satisfaction of giving to others than a written thank you note is going to teach about gratitude.[/quote]
