I was hoping to do something like you suggested, but the parents want the guests to bring a certificate from a website they have suggested, where we have to buy the gift donation and the recepient will donate it to the charity of their choice & will see the denomination when they redeem the donation certificate.
I dont want to ignore their request about no gifts & am not sure if I want to do the donation certifcate thing either. I thought of giving the kid a card and a small bag of some candy & a little toy ahead of the party....
I agree that there should ideally not be a mention of gifts on the invite. But if the parent wants to go the donation route, then the gift giver should at least have a choice as to the means of the donation. I am just not comfortable completely when an amount shows up in a gift I give or receive.
I guess I will just bring the donation certificate to the party. After all the kids are kind of neighbours ......

Wow, that seems a little strange and rude to me. Perhaps, they want some kind of "charitable donation" for their taxes at the end of the year.
Personally, I'd just go with the gift saying that we try to have our kids participate in giving to their friends and our kid would not understand doing it from a website.
