Are you seriously asking?

Of course she brings a gift. $20 gift card to itunes or goolge play would be great.

I love it when DD (13) gets invitations from girls she does not consider to be close friends with. I mention how great it is that Larla wants to get to know her better.

We don't generally bring a gift if we don't attend. If it's a close friend, then sometimes we do.

If she is not going to the party and the girls is not a close friend, I don't think she needs to buy a gift.

Did you read the OP? She isn't going to the party.

My DC was invited to a birthday party for an acquaintance from school turning 14--not a close friend. DC not going to go to party. Is it necessary to still buy a gift?
