I don't know what to tell people anymore lol. I really want to tell people that we need a deep fryer and a blender lol, but I know that has nothing to do with baby lol. Any good gift ideas? There is about 60 people coming and I have nothing to tell them so far. Also when people INSIST on bringing a dish , what do I tell the ? We are doing baked ziti , salad , and bread , ourselves ! What are good side dishes for this kind of dinner !

    I always ask for books. I'm also interested in puzzles and Legos or Duplo or Bristle blocks.

    And as for bringing food-I wish I had that problem.

    What about appetizer, snacky foods?  grapes, cheese, crackers, dips, chips, et al.

    Ditto to pp about college fund.  We worded the invitation to Cole's party ...Our little man is currently still enjoying the generous gifts of clothes and toys from his last birthday.  For those wishing to bring a gift a toonie (2 dollar coin) for his Education Fund would be greatly appreciated.

    Clothes in sizes larger than they wear now.  Shoes also in sizes larger than now.  Mega blocks.  Play tent (the love to hide in dark places (under tables, behind chairs).  Puzzles.

    As for food, ask for baked goods.  Those never go to waste.  Or chicken nuggets for children... or a veggie dish if any vegaterians (sp).

    We are saying books, telling them clothing sizes if they want more info, and anything musical or water related.

    We will have a small birthday party.  I will probably put the word out (via my mom) that we are good on clothing.  E already wears 24 mo, and has enough for the fall & winter season.  No one will be offended if my mom offers this suggestion.

     

    I would suggest (like pp) - books, Duplo, Little People play sets.  Maybe the Zany Zoo.  Grandfather lives in Germany, and I would ask him to send a few pretend play toys from Erzi.  I also have my eye on an art table by Step 2.

    I won't offer suggestions unless I'm asked - except for the one about clothing.

    I just gave a one year old a board book (Gossie series) and a Target g.c.

    Books, puzzles, clothes (size now and next size up), and sometimes I do a wish list at BRU so people get toys I know the kids will be interested in, but mostly put arts and craft stuff on there.
