[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just a handmade card. No cash.

I’m often offended when people write no gifts. Sometimes it’s because they really have too much stuff. But often times is that they’re too brownnosed to accept your meager gift of what they think is junk. Even worse if they ask to donate to a charity. You invite me. I decide if I want to bring a gift and what I choose to gift. Besides it’s your child’s birthday, not the parents. Sometimes I feel bad for these kids who get no gifts. [/quote]

I have a relative who told me they do no  gifts because they only like their kids to have certain types of toys. OK![/quote]

And I still think that's fine, as long as they aren't writing that on the invitation!  If the gifts won't be played with, fine by me if the hosts simply write "no gifts."  It makes it easier for everyone.  I am happy to just show up with a card and let my kid enjoy the party.[/quote]

But everyone knows those same kids that only have wooden, made in the US , Montessori approved toys...LOVE to play with our assortment of whatever the kids are into..regardless of what the parents want/think.[/quote]
