This year I dared to be the mom who did NOT give out gift bags at my son's birthday party!

Tired of the trend of having to give out gifts at my own child's birthday party, I did the unthinkable....I did not give any out. I even when a step further and asked for no gifts for my son either. He is four so I can still get away with it. We had a bowling party and the kids and parents had so much fun, we all forgot about gifts all together. One parent even thanked me for not doing gift bags so she would not have to bring home more useless junk that will just eventually break and be in a landfill. See if you can break that tradition too-I bet no one will think you are cheap or odd, they will probably be grateful for the "out" themselves!
