I cannot deny the family buying gifts because
1. it won't stop them anyway
2. they just won't get it - after all, who wouldn't want their child to not have more toys??
So I am wondering if I can ask for no gifts on the preschooler party. I was thinking of wording it something like this: "Owen would like this day to celebrate with his friends. Just bring yourselves and be ready to have fun! No gifts please." Or I can ask that they donate a gift to a charitable organization instead. Thoughts??

I didn't read the comments. Probably this one came up many times but I would suggest that they bring money to contribute to a college fund and that you get the child at least one new toy. A brithday with no toy at all just doesn't sound rignt
