In a TikTok video, Brittany Carpenter recounted her frustration upon receiving strict gift guidelines for her daughter's birthday party, including requests for plastic-free toys with no colors or sounds. The child's parents also mandated guests to present handmade cards instead of store-bought versions due to waste concerns. Many invitees shared Carpenter's dismay, leading etiquette expert Mariah Grumet Humbert to suggest simpler alternatives, such as opting out of gifts entirely or donating to charity, highlighting the overwhelming nature of such stringent requirements.
According to Carpenter, the mother also instructed guests to bring a handmade card as store-bought ones 'will produce waste.'
