I don't know if it's a joke. 

 

If it is a joke, it's really a stupid one.  Obviously people aren't sure if it's a joke or not.

There is no such thing as a mandatory gift.

 

That is not a gift.  It's sometimes called "tribute" or "extortion".

 

RSVP your regrets and don't look back.

1. Throwing yourself a birthday party is tacky.
2. Demanding a gift is obnoxious.

My ex threw himself a birthday party at a fancy hotel and asked for cash from guests instead. I could never make that up....
