Can parents of twins/triplets pls help me.

If my child is invited to a party hosted by twins/triplets would you expect (as a parent or child of that family) a present to be bought for all the children, or just one who is in the class or friendship group of one child?

I don't want to offend anyone and I know all families are different so just wondering if there's a general rule I should be following.

So for instance, DS has been invited to a party by a boy in his class, but he has 2 other brothers who are also hosting as they are triplets. Do you buy 3 presents or just one for the boy in the class?

We would only buy for the child that invited them... If a single child invited dt1 then only dt1 would go with one gift .
If both of mine were invited both would get birthday child a gift EACH ..

With twins and triplets we tended to ask (mum usually) and buy a board game /activity that they could do together instead of 2/3 smaller gifts.

Usually if twins invited both my boys we would get a tool them from us gift

If the invite is just from one twin/triplet then just give a present to that child.
If the invite is from all triplets/twins then a present to them all (could be something very cheap).
That’s obviously only if you can afford it, otherwise just a card.
As a mother of twins I know mine always got upset over joint presents. They would rather have had a cheap individual present eg a fancy pen/item of stationary. It gives them a sense of being an actual individual person rather than just a twin.

Thank you for your replies. Seems tricky if you can only afford one present! Would you split the money and do 50% for each twin, despite your child not knowing the other twin?
