Up until now we have avoided the "friend" parties for LO for many reasons. She'll be four this summer and I'm feeling pressure to throw a party. One of the reasons for avoidance on my behalf is gifts. Our kiddo already has more than enough of everything and I don't want more gifts to fill our home. Have you hosted a party for your toddler/pre-schooler where you requested no gifts?

I'd be open to charitable donations or books only. We simply don't need more toys that will fill up our space.
