I feel like I need some guidance from the wise folk of Mumsnet! We have received an invitation to a birthday party and upon rsvp-ing the parent has told us they don’t want birthday presents but would prefer us to bring a donation to the party so they can give it to a food bank. The child is four years old by the way. What’s the etiquette here as I’ve never come across this one before?! I will bring something for the food bank of course (although in this circumstance I don’t know what to bring) but I kind of also feel bad for the child here, about not receiving any presents, especially as they are so young. I would welcome any advice on this as I feel rather conflicted!
