My kid’s birthday party is coming up soon, and she has so many toys already, I really don’t want the guests to bring her any more toys for presents. Still, she is 3 years old and has very few educational games. We would like to kick off her new year with helping her learn to count, read words, and learn general rules for playing games. I would like to ask the guests to bring games instead of toys in the invitation. Will people think I am selfish? If not, what sort of language should I use?
Most people will definitely bring a gift for your kid’s party. It is what is typically done. When people buy gifts for the kids’ parties, they certainly want them to be appreciated and used. If you know that she has enough toys, but could use some games, it is great to make this suggestion directly on the invitation. By using plain language, people will be able to buy a gift that will be used. Many people really appreciate such suggestions as it makes picking out a present that much easier. Given that people assume that they will bring a gift, it is not selfish to direct people to buy a gift that is what is really needed. You can use language like, “In order to help _____ learn to count, read her words, and play by the rules, games would make a perfect gift.” People may still bring toys, but this should help you get the games that your kid really could use!
