1st birthday party etiquette for invitations?
Question:
Also I know people want to get a gift that would be used, what about a birthday wish list? How would you word it? Or is that just poor taste? Or should I have just one ready in case someone asks for it?
Answers:
Eh, that's tricky. I probably wouldn't say anything--I'd just hope they gave gift receipts! If it's a stuffed animal that you know for sure is sold at a certain store (say a brand that's only carried by Wal Mart) but you don't have a receipt, if they can scan it and it comes up in their system, they'll let you exchange it. If she gets a bunch of toys you don't like or she doesn't need, just donate them to Salvation Army or Goodwill--I'm sure some baby somewhere would love to have it!
Most people (I'd hope!) would have enough common sense to realize that a one year old needs toys to develop her senses--not a stuffed animal.
It's in poor taste to tell folks what to get or not to get your child. I WOULD have a mental list ready for when someone asks, though. Good idea.
