birthday party invitations no presents image
Q. I live in Hawaii and I'm planning my son's 1st birthday party that will be held in Texas (where all our family lives). Although we appreciate any gesture and don't expect gifts from anyone, how should I suggest gift cards if someone wants to get him something in the invitation? The shipping cost to get multiple gifts to our house would be very expensive and we all ready paying for our plane tickets to get over there and the entire party for 75+ people. You're suggestions are very appreciated!
Answer
"Our suitcases are as full as they can be with diapers. wipes and thus
please understand that we can't take things back with us"

How to split a birthday party with a friend?
Q. So, me and my best friend have a birthday one week apart from each other so we were thinking about having both of our birthday parties at the same place and same time and our parents could split the cost. The problem is, i dont think our friends would bring two presents for us for one party?? What should i do?
Answer
First, I'm gonna breakdown the other two answers and tell you [what i like and don't like] (<--my thoughts will be in brackets [ ] )

"Is all you really care about the gifts friends will bring? [srsly, bro? criticizing up a storm, are we?]Your birthdays are only a week apart, so if they can only bring one gift to your shared party, then chances are only one of you will get a gift prior to the party/at seperate parties. [I don't think it's a matter of IF they can only bring one...someone missed the boat, by a lot] If the presents are really what matters - tell your friends that you 2 prefer they bring gift cards or money so that the 2 of you are able to share everything equally. [not a bad idea. Hell, just tell 'em to bring cash. I <3 cash] I would think that the shared experience of a birthday would be enough though. [meh...i rely on my b-day & xmas to keep my bank account healthy] It's peoples PRESENCE not the presents that make it the most memorable. [I just love cliches...this is sarcasm btw)
Have the party together [yes, do!], forget about the 2 gift part from friends [srsly?].. That just leads to jealousy. Anyways, your parents are saving cash and will prob put more of the cash towards gifts for you vs them spending all the money on one party). [don't be so sure.]
Happy Birthday a bit early, and have a good year."
[Indeed, Happy early Birthday!]

Ask them to donate some money to charity [*chokes, falls oput of chair, dies] instead of bringing 2 gifts for you. it's a chance to do a great thing. [idk about you, but i'm kinda sick of helping people <.<]
-------------------------
I'm not so sure I agree with you, TJ. I think people might bring 2 presents. If your invitation says...
You're invited to
[you] and [other person]'s joint party @ [place] at [time]
...then how could they only bring one present? they'd have to choose who to bring a present for, which they (hopefully) won't do xD
If I were in their shoes, I'd bring 2. 2 people, 2 presents. Or just a sh*t-load of $$$ :)
Here's what I'd do if I was you, hun...I'd buy myself something special from Tiffany's...then again, you're probably not having a significant bday, so maybe you should wait until your Sweet 16
By the way, if you're bday is mid- to late-june, you should totally invite me...i might be in Cali then. But just as a warning, i'd probably only bring 1 present xD
