Name changed as identifiable.....possibly...

My neice's 1st b'day .Invitation states..

No boxed gifts.

They are crackers aren't they?

:o

Yy glitter

giving money as gifts is very usual in both our families

So what is the problem?

As for being "sad" for a 1 year old having no presents to open, seriously, she's one. From memory unwrapping presents is a long drawn out and painful process culminating in the parent ripping the wrapping off for the child and the child then ignoring the gift and eating the paper instead. :)

So what is the problem?

I'm glad the OP shared even if it isn't really a problem for her

I love a good old judge at stuff like this I got my special judgey pants out and indulged myself for a bit.

Problem is more the rudeness at asking outright (and really not a problem more than a reason to clutch pearls at the audacity....).

And of course DN won't know that she doesn't have anything to open but it is still nice to see them opening presents and then eating the paper

I'm another who would assume it meant the recipent didn't want the packaging. So would just remove the packaging and wrap. Possibly in bubble wrap if its an awkward shape so the paper doesn't get torn.

Maybe see if there is some toy money suitable for a 1 year old? I know there's a pink toy piggy bank with coloured discs.
