[quote=Anonymous][quote]The intention isn't really good though. It's mostly based on OP not wanting to deal with 30 toys so she's trying to find a workaround that makes her look good. It doesn't really matter to me if the intention IS good- it really sets a weird tone, for me, of the parent of the party trying to make some personal statement about how giving her family is and make others donate to charity using her kid's party as a front. It leaves a bad taste in my mouth, sorry.[/quote]

This is how I feel.  It's not even the kid's idea.

Honestly, I don't care if you say "no gifts, please."  I will happily respect your wishes.  I don't care if you donate the gift we give you.  I gave it to your kid, he/she is free to do whatever he/she wants with it.  But if you're worried about too many toys, just have your child clear out their existing toys to toss/donate anything they've outgrown or don't play with anymore.  I was always raised that you do your giving privately and with no show about it.  Matthew 6:1-4. [/quote]
