Gift Giving Advice
A child’s birthday party
is still considered a gift-giving event by most here in the U.S. So,
when hosting a party for your little one, please consider that your guests have
spent time and money purchasing what they thought your child would want: the
perfect gift. Your gift to them in return is to share your child’s
joy of revealing his/her joy of seeing it for the first time.
Dear Polite One,
My five-year-old was
invited to a birthday party where the gifts were not opened after the cake was
served. In fact, after the cake was eaten, we were pretty much expected to
leave. Is this behavior acceptable birthday party etiquette?
Thank you,
Just wondering
Dear Just Wondering,
It's unfortunate that
this parent didn't know what is considered appropriate, as this was not proper
or polite, but insulting to guests. We expect children to open their gifts
during a birthday party.
Sincerely,
The Polite One
