[QUOTE="meowbunny, post: 51957, member: 3626"] A birthday party but no gifts for a child? Odds are few of the parents are going to follow that idea. I wonder if their religion actually denies birthday celebrations and the parents just don't want their child totally left out? I had friends who would have a party in the middle of the year to celebrate their children rather than their birth to get around this. It was really lovely. I think I would get sneaky on this one. Buy a gift, wrap it and keep it in the car. If you see a lot of kids going in with gifts, then your child can add to the pile. If not, save it for the next birthday party. If people respect the parents' wishes, you could invite the child to a day out at the movies, local park or whatever. The other thing I would do is call and offer to bring something -- food, a couple of pool toys, whatever. I'm also one of those who was taught you never attend a party without bringing something.
