If more than one of yo children are invited to the same party

[whoopsfallenoveragain]

Do you get a present from both or just one present?

a joint one from both of them

Just one if it's just one child's birthday

Just one but it would be nearer my £10 upper limit than my usual £5 threshold! Or alternatively, 2 smaller presents so they don't scrap over who carries it!

Have done it both ways

Sometimes one present for double the value
Sometimes two presents.

just one present

My dd invited several sets of siblings to her last party, some brought separate presents, some bought joint. Didn't really matter.

Two or a bigger single gift.

Two party invites, two presents IMO.

One present but slightly more in value than usual

Generally one present but of a higher value. However, I do feel the party host is providing a party (food, games, party bags) for both my children so they should both arrive with a present.

I have got 2 pressies in case well it was buy 2 get 3rd free!! so dd can have one and may give the cheaper 2 but will see how generous I feel on Sunday!!

I generally like to give 2 presents if both are invited to the same party.

Two invites, two presents.

I have DTDs and they almost always go to the same parties. I set a total budget of £10-18 depending on how close the friend is. Whether we spend that on 1 or 2 presents depends on what we see to buy.

I would rather get 2 presents if I can, but if I see something nicer for the full money I get that.

LOs had one present from 2 sisters she invited to her party, another set of 2 sisters gave a few smaller items wrapped up in the same parcel (so essentially one present).

I don't think that it really matters.

1 present

I give one present, but spend a bit more. Seems to be the norm amongst my friends

if you have had a party for your dc what did you think about the presents s/he received?
I would say 40% we were both very happy to see them, 30% I removed before she realised, 30% she had forgotten as soon as they were open.
on this basis it is neither here nor there whether the birthday child gets 2 presents or 1 from a pair of siblings.

I agree with hovley. When my DD has party I am praying for least amount of pressies, don't mind if I have fed and party bagged whole extended family. There really is a limit to what we can do with 11 small playdoh sets. ( 8 Arial the Mermaid)

if its a good friend i normally spend £10
if its just a friend its £5

when both my boys are invited to a party and they are a good friend normally get a prezzi for £15 if a friend £10

my boys went to a good friends party the other week so i got boy a football shirt and a football badge, two parcels but both names on each prezzi

one present for one bday, tho might spend a bit more. I usually aim for £10 tho, so i think that is sufficient. I wouldnt expect two from siblings.

One present from both
