Completely normal asking for memberships / vouchers. For money I would suggest a children’s bank account. They can pay directly into it. Feels less weird than asking for cash.
I just have said no gifts in the past and people got it, like we are all pretty stuffed out these days. Like a lot of kids parties we are invited to say “no gifts, just your presence is desired “
@A_M 🌺🌈 good thinking! She actually has an account I can link. I might stick to vouchers/passes/gift cards then !
Our people straight up ask what he wants and I explain that he has a lot of toys but just be direct that we love to do things as a family and give him experiences. It’s becoming more of a thing and people have been really receptive to it. There will be some who aren’t but, directness has worked really well for us!
Create a saved board on GROUPON* it’s a app I use in Texas with tons of local discounts on fun activities for the kids and ect. I’d post your email so they can purchase and send via email
(We know physical gifts are fun to open, but we will not be opening gifts.) -I don't know how I feel about the wording on that part lol We would prefer gifts in the form of experiences and would love money, vouchers, gift cards, or memberships to some special places like the zoo, local conservatory, swim passes, etc...
