[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I really hate it when parents pull the "no gifts" card. The last time it happened, we went with their wishes and arrived without a gift to find...a table full of gift bags.

It makes you feel like you stand a 50/50 chance of doing the wrong thing. As a guest, I look at bringing a gift as the price of admission. You very kindly invited my child, so let us bring a gift for your child. Please? Donate the gifts to a charity if you like; nobody who brought a gift has to know what you did with it.

Don't leave your guests confused as to what they should do.[/quote]

EXACTLY!!  We have yet to go to a no gift party and there are no gifts. The hostess even has a pile for the gifts clear as day.  It is so weird and uncomfortable. At least Mommy Dearest let her daughter have one present to keep and donate the rest to charity. The no gift invitations make everyone’s eyes roll.

And the poster who said they bring a flower bouquet to every no gift party?  WTH? lol [/quote]
