Slipper Posted June 12, 2012 Share Posted June 12, 2012 My two girls were invited to the birthday party of a friend of ours who has three girls. Two girls have a birthday this week and one will have a birthday in two weeks. (Interestingly, the mom has the same birthday as one of the girls this week as well). Should my girls each get a gift for each of the two girls? (Making four gifts) or just one from both of them to each girl? (Making two gifts) We can afford to do four, but I'm worried that when it comes time to invite them to our birthday parties, she'll feel obligated to send three from her family (since she has three kids and all three will be invited). She is not as financially well off as we are and I don't want her to feel awkward. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirch Posted June 12, 2012 Share Posted June 12, 2012 (edited) We always send one joint gift from our boys to each child. Edited June 12, 2012 by Kirch Realized my wording was unclear! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kokotg Posted June 12, 2012 Share Posted June 12, 2012 We always do one gift from our family to the birthday child, and that's how all of our friends do things, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NanceXToo Posted June 12, 2012 Share Posted June 12, 2012 I think it's fine for the gift to be from both of your girls/from your family! That's how we always do it, and I don't know anyone who does it differently! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Acorn Posted June 12, 2012 Share Posted June 12, 2012 We do one gift from family, but sometimes it will be a book and a toy wrapped together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slipper Posted June 12, 2012 Author Share Posted June 12, 2012 Thank you all! That's what we will do as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SunnyDays Posted June 12, 2012 Share Posted June 12, 2012 One gift from the family is what we do here as well!! Of course, we only have one child, so that may be why. :D But others I know who have multiple children give one gift per family. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sasharowan Posted June 12, 2012 Share Posted June 12, 2012 I have told my kids that they have X amount for budget. They can pick one big gift from all of them, or smaller gifts from each one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
