We think it would be great if everyone came in costume but understand that not everyone would be comfortable doing so. You can always just dress fancy and find a quirky mask, prop, or hat to make it fun.
Yes, it doesn’t seem right for us to have our child there and not let you have yours. Though please be sure to let us know how many are coming with an RSVP so that we have enough food.
We do not expect anyone to bring gifts. As we are an established household we don’t need things like kitchenwares or towels. But, we do have a need for some home renovations as our basement is currently unusable. There is a link on the Registry page that you can donate to if you feel the desire to give.
