[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The hosts discreetly asked parents prior to the party: What charity/cause does your child care about?

Each guest was surprised upon departure to be handed an envelope. Inside? A beautiful card that identified a charity that had received a $100 donation in the guest’s name. And a note thanking them for coming to the party, being a friend and caring about animals/the earth/the community.

Kids were 12. Perfect age to understand it. They were all really inspired. Obviously, a wealthy host and not something everyone can do. But I loved it.

(And no junk or candy.)[/quote]

Holllyyyyy shi!. This is amazing/insane. I can't tell if I want to be those parents or those kids :)[/quote]

Sounds more like a self righteous move (and tax benefit).

I bet half those kids just shrugged and wished there was something edible or at least tangible /gift card than some fancy-schmancy note about a charity donation.[/quote]

You're just jealous you can't afford to do that.  I'm sure that's something the kids will remember forever (more than a bunch of plastic junk anyway).[/quote]

The only thing "the kids will remember forever" is that Billy's bday party tucked at the end b/c the party favor was a dumb card with some long-winded note.[/quote]

I'm sorry you think 12 year old kids don't have the ability to understand the challenges of the world around them and be inspired by the possibility of fixing them.  And if they can't comprehend a card at age 12, they have bigger issues than being disappointed about a party favor.[/quote]
