DD is 5 on Friday. We're not having a party this year and we've our own things planned for her. Normally we have all the family round at some point throughout her actual birthday but won't have time this year.
I've started having people text me asking when on Friday evening they can come in with her present. We're free until midday then won't be back until late but most people are working so morning doesn't suit them. When I've said we're busy they are then saying they'll drop her gift off on sat/sun/next week which makes me feel a little that she won't get them until after her birthday like an afterthought.
This could be partly my fault as I haven't told everyone we'll be busy on her birthday unlike it normally being an open house however other people have known and are still saying they'll be round a day or so after. And to be honest the next day doesn't really suit as we have plans!
Some of these people were adamant their kids got their gifts before the day so they had them to open in the morning when they were growing up whether it be Christmas or their birthday so it's like they have short memories!
