People say this all the time, and I just don't believe it. Were you the first guest there and were you really observing everyone who arrived? I have thrown and attended no-gift parties, and while there are always some guests who arrive with gifts, either because they didn't read the invitation or because of some self-righteous "I decide when I give someone a gift bs," it's never everyone.

I would hand it back to you and ask if you read the invitation where I said NO GIFTS! Also, I do not want more trash with a card. Do what people ask!

Why do people refuse to follow this very simple request? Mind boggling…
Why do you have an issue with your kids getting a gift?
Not your concern. You don’t get to decide how other people parent their kids. If they say “no gifts” just don’t bring a gift (or trash like cards or stickers pr bubbles or whatever). Stop trying to control how other people choose to celebrate/host!!!
I don’t bring stuff like that and real gifts. Don’t have a party if you don’t want gifts. You don’t get to control gifts.
Don't go if "No gifts" is too hard for you.
Haha - would this PP also be like “don’t have a dinner party if you don’t want to put my potato salad in tupperware in the center of the buffet!”

Why would you do that to your child? I'd take my gift, kid and leave.

The only times I went to a no gift party and I followed the rules, everyone else had brought a gift.

We went to a party like this recently. I had my child make a card. I saw that lots of people brought gifts and I felt silly. I wished that I had at least attached a small book to it.
