Birthday party money

Hi all, looking for advice as I have zero idea what to do. We got invited to a joined birthday party (1year old and 4 year old) held at a local soft play place. The invitation says no gifts - I have messaged the mum asking if they would prefer the guests to donate to a charity or something instead and she said that if we want to give anything, we can give money that they will use when buying the kids toys etc. Now my question is... how much should I give??? We aren't really close tbh, just have kids the same age and used to go to the same playgroup. What would you do?

Think how much you would of spent on a gift if you were to get them one. I tend to try keep presents between 5-10£ so as a money gift I’d personally give £10 each. X

I'd honor the no gift rule honestly. I asked my family for Christmas not to give my 1 year old gifts and put money in his savings account instead and I was legitimately angry when they gave gifts anyway. We don't have the space and he has way too many toys already. This family isn't saying "no gifts" to sound humble and secretly hoping for money/gifts anyway. They have a reason for saying no gifts

£30-£40?! My godddd I was going to say £10 😂😂😂 I think £10 is completely reasonable for a kids birthday party!! Especially when says no gifts anyways.

@Hollie i thought the same 😂 would be £10 max per child for me 😂

Yeah £30-£40 is mad 😂 id give a tenner max but if they said no gifts id just get a card

I’d give however much you can give. Probably between $10-$40. In my culture, the old folks give money while others will give gifts, ect,.
