Birthday Party Invite ~ Wording ~ No Present... Money Tree?

taekwondo birthday party invitations image

Merry

Invitation wording for my (almost) 8 year old.

Like many children his age he really doesn't need any more "stuff" LOL
... He loves sport (in particular Taekwondo) but as a single parent I am struggling to keep up with the $$$ aspect of this..

So what do you thinks of this invite wording ?? ....

"Please join us for a day of fun & games ~ No present please
If however you would like to give a token gift but you are stuck for ideas
a small contribution towards (son's name) Taekwondo would be appreciated"

Clearly when having a party it is about having fun with friends and NOT about the gifts... with this in mind PLEASE lighten up (I'm not looking for an lecture on etiquette) .... Constructive thoughts and ideas appreciated!

Answer
If the guests are relatives, I don't see a problem with telling your siblings/parents/in-laws that you would prefer help with paying for your child's extracurricular activites instead of them getting him another Ironman figure.

There is no way I would send invites like that to my child's classmates, though! If a parent calls and asks what they could buy for your child, it's ok to suggest money but requesting money with the invitation is a big no-no.
