birthday party etiquette.. do I bring a gift?

Post Reply New Topic

So after going it alone for a while, I started getting bored and lonely so I've been making an active effort to make friends the past month or so... one girl invited me to her birthday party but it's been a looooooong time since I've been to one. So what's the etiquette nowadays as far as what to bring? This is at the birthday person's home w/ probably 10-20 people in their 20's and 30's.

It might be helpful if you post more information on your relationship to this girl. I think the expectations vary depending on whether you are acquantances or friends or close friends, and what the social status is. Gift giving is very culture depended in my experienced. I'm sorry if that doesn't help much

Is it possible to ask any of the other people attending/her parents or don't you know any of them?

If you're not really close with the person, then I'd bring a small gift or a gift certificate. Or maybe some food to add to the food supply at the party.

If you feel up to asking some who knows her, and are able, then ask away.

So I've known this girl for about a week so definitely not close friends, but we've talked extensively in that time. I also suspect she's interested in me more than as friends. I don't know anyone else at the party since I just moved here.

if it were me, i'd spend $20-30 on a gift. if you can't decide what to get, a restaurant or grocery store gift card is always useful.
