[quote=Anonymous]I do find it off-putting, and confusing when the invite says "no gifts." It feels very virtue-signaling -- we're such morally superior people that we can't be bothered with silly trinkets -- with an underlying touch of "we don't trust you to buy something that won't shame our home." And then I have to do the extra work of trying to figure out whether there is some unspoken expectation that there be money in the card or I instead bring something for the host or contribute in some other way. Ugh. Just be normal and welcome people to celebrate your kid's birthday in keeping with cultural norms. If you are too good for the gift, then quietly toss/donate/regift later. [/quote]
