Otherwise I would apologize and stick the gift in the closet for another birthday party :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-cant-make-it-to-a-birthday-party-after-already-saying-yes#post-2311465 Tue, 06 Oct 2015 08:18:19 +0000 travelgirl1 2311465@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would. This happened last year when my morning sickness was too bad to go and we sent the gift with another guest. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-cant-make-it-to-a-birthday-party-after-already-saying-yes#post-2311460 Tue, 06 Oct 2015 08:07:16 +0000 Andrea 2311460@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, I would still gift since I would probably have the gift wrapped and ready anyway! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-cant-make-it-to-a-birthday-party-after-already-saying-yes#post-2311443 Tue, 06 Oct 2015 07:37:45 +0000 lamariniere 2311443@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Applesandbananas: one of them goes to daycare with my older LO. The other is one of my DH's coworker's kids, I've never met the coworker or the kid, but DH wants to give the gift anyway since we already said we would go. I'm fine with that. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-cant-make-it-to-a-birthday-party-after-already-saying-yes#post-2311427 Tue, 06 Oct 2015 07:25:23 +0000 hilsy85 2311427@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes definitely. If I am close to the parents, I will give a gift even if we had told them from the beginning we couldn't go to the party. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-cant-make-it-to-a-birthday-party-after-already-saying-yes#post-2311423 Tue, 06 Oct 2015 07:20:32 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 2311423@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I still send a gift because most often the gift is already purchased and wrapped by the time I have to back out of the bday party. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-cant-make-it-to-a-birthday-party-after-already-saying-yes#post-2311422 Tue, 06 Oct 2015 07:20:14 +0000 Applesandbananas 2311422@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Depends on how close I am to them, honestly. If I bought a specific gift for that kiddo, I would still give the gift. If it was a generic gift and I'm not that close to them, or if i hadn't already gotten a gift, I wouldn't. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-cant-make-it-to-a-birthday-party-after-already-saying-yes#post-2311419 Tue, 06 Oct 2015 07:16:43 +0000 lamariniere 2311419@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Do you still give the gift?</p> <p>Something came up and we are going to have to miss two birthday parties that we were supposed to go. I'm planning on still giving the gifts, but I was wondering what others have done/would do. </p>
