Hiiiiii fellow mylotters Everyone knows various types of parties are oranised like birthday, marriage, marriage anniversary, office function etc..I also arrange one party that is "Kitchen Party" still no more guest are in my party. I think they dont want to give me gift.. But I think whenever we are going for party then we take a gift for the organizer not necessary gift will be big or costly but at least for their pleasure gift is must and forget to write one rule in my kitchen party no entry without gift.. so share your view you face such situation you attend party but forget bring the gift.

For me yes it has a time I would go in party without gift because they are rich and they said even if you don't have gift just attend.

Hello fanta I mostly take gifts.But I am never able to choose gifts so I always avoid to buy gift,I just go to shop and buy any show piece and wrap it.But when its mt any close friends birthday or his any other individual party,I don't give him any gift.I just help him in arranging the party.In birthdays, We all friends except him just bring the cake and snacks.I think its more better.Yes we take also a treat after that from him.haha

I would if I could. The only parties I usually go to are of relatives and very close friends, and they would understand if I didn't have any gift to bring with. If there was a no gift no entry policy, then I would definitely have been in a very few parties.

I have done this! There have been a few parites I really wanted to attens and did. I didn't have money for a gift and went anyway. One time I did this the person was not happy! Hey! I was broke and I thought they would understand! Not! Then I did it again a few more times and it was no big deal! Sometimes I just want to be around my friends and if gifts are are important,well they aren't friends!

Actually I never have. Even though some will say that it is okay to attend without a gift, I would feel bad if I did not bring a gift. I actually attended a wedding last year which I found very unusual. I am use to being all excited about purchasing that special gift and the invites specifically stated no gifts please. I was shocked and felt a bit uncomfortable, but apparently all the attendees were use to it. While I would not expect a gift if I were hosting the party myself but, it is just out of habit and courtesy that I like to attend with the gift.

Hi there! If we are invited in a party, we make sure that we do not attend the party without a gift or/and with a bouquet of roses. We feel if we are invited to a party, courtesy demands we should take along with us any gift. What about you?

Hi fantabulous! Here, it is not customary to bring gifts when you are attending a party, at least not in our social class. In higher social classes or in other social circles, people always bring gifts for the celebrant. It has not been my habit to bring gifts when I attend a party. I only always give gifts during Christmas. Sometimes, I give birthday gifts to my godchildren during their special birthday parties like on their first birthday or seventh birthday. Sometimes, if I have extra money, I will give birthday gifts to a friend who is celebrating a birthday. But usually, when my friends are having a party, I just contribute to the party like food or drinks as a form of gift.

I would every time take some gifts when attending parties. The kind of gift and the number of gifts would of course be different depending on the types of parties. If it is a birthday party, that would be some thing of a personal item. If it is an office function, it would be some thing useful to the organizer in organizing the party. That would in any case a token of appreciation for his service.

I think if it is like a party that you are the host of where you invite people to come to try and get them to buy the product that you are selling then no no gift is needed. If it is a birthday party or a wedding or baby shower then yes of course you bring a gift. Not bringing a gift to a birthday wedding or baby shower is just rude in my eyes!

No I do not think you read my respond clearly. If it is a party where people go to buy things then no gift. If it is a party you go to celebrate something like a birthday then yes bring a gift.

That depends on who is throwing a party and what kind of party it is. Sometimes when a friend tagged me which I seldom do..I don't have time to buy a gift or I don't have any idea what the host want then,better not to bring a gift. So,it's all depends on the situation as well. Yes, I did attend a party without a gift.

Good day Fantabulus, With regard to your main topic - there are times that I attend parties without any gift at all for the celebrant. But this instance is somehow exception to the rule. As generally, I do bring a gift. Either way, if I will stand on the celebrator's shoe - gift is not a big deal for me. Let say, one of my guest does not brought a gift for me, that situation is fine. Since what is important for me is my guest presence and not the material thing that he or she has brought for me. As my guest presence is as good as he or she brought a gift for me.

Hi I am also attended so many parties. I took gifts and went to the party. I think when we join a party that time necessary to take gifts. Once time I went to my friend's Birthday party. That time my father told me"don't take a big gift.! you can take a small doll." I have attended that party with a small beautiful doll. My friend like that.

I was always taught that when invited to someone else's house don't go empty handed. Also, if I am invited to a party, I generally take a gift. I feel embarrassed not to.

i have gone to parties without a gift and if I have a party I dont expect visitors to bring any also. but it really depends on what is being celebrated. if it's a birthday, anniversary or christening then I make sure I bring a gift for the celebrant.

It depends on the person, if I am that close I will bring, but I don't do things just because they are socially acceptable so if we are not no presents just the presence. I would be happy the same way if someone that it's not even close accepts my invitation and comes and I wouldn't expect a present.

Hi there. I am not fond of attending parties. I only attend if my very close friends or my relatives invites me to go. But then I can still remember the last time I attended a birthday party. That was my cousins friends 18th birthday. actually I was just invited on that same day of the party so I didn't had a time to think and to buy of a gift for the celebrant. Good thing my cousin do have a gift so I just shared it to her. Funny. But for me, whenever you attend a party just see to it that you bring a gift with you. :-)

hi there fanta,. hm.. well for me it depends on the party i am attending but usually i don't bring gifts to most party i attend. lol! i am confident enough that there is no "no gift,no entry" rule in most parties. lol! if i was the organizer i would want to receive gifts but if i would attend to some family parties i would not be buying gifts. as for friends sometimes i would if i have some penny but usually i do not. i think they are kinda used to it. they would understand it though.haha what matters for the celebrant is your presence.haha! i think i should wrap myself instead then.. :)
