Mandatory Gift???

Snowhite714 · ‎06-30-2014

Is it me or is this just wrong??? YOU are turning 60 and you decide to celebrate your 60 years by throwing yourself a party with lots of food, drinks, entertainment, etc. And you are inviting upwards of 50 people. Is it appropriate to say in the invitation Gifts Mandatory? Is it me or is this just wrong?

people can do whatever they want and request whatever they want. may be wrong, may not be wrong.....

bottom line is is it is up to you to decide if you want to celebrate and take a gift or not.

I've never seen this before, and frankly think it's quite tacky and presumptuous.

If you want gifts , I wouldn't ask for them outright. People might feel a bit awkward

If you don't ,you might ask people to share a memory or a photo. I have read invitations saying please honor us with your presence not presents..

Is it possible they're joking?

I am thinking they just are a bit mixed up. They might have meant to say please no gifts

I have never heard of anyone asking for a gift in an invitation

Never in my 69 years on Earth have I seen or heard of an invitation that stated gifts mandatory. If i received an invation like this I would trash it and skip the party. Thankfully i don't know anyone who would send an invatation like this.
