A Reddit user shares an unusual experience where she received a birthday party invitation that invited guests to send gifts instead of attending a traditional party. The host's child preferred no party but still wanted presents. This trend raises questions among parents about the appropriateness of directly asking friends for gifts instead of celebrating together, especially since the invitation included a Venmo payment option. This post provoked discussion on the changing landscape of children's birthday celebrations in a post-pandemic world.
"Apparently the rest of the invite was a list of things the child likes and concludes with a message offering a Venmo option."
"If it was a family member, I could see that, but sending out invitations for classmates to just send her gifts...idk is this a new way of celebrating birthdays that I've just never heard about?"
