The Pushiest Birthday Invitation in History
A birthday party ‘invitation from hell’ has been mocked online after racking up over a million views.
The invitation, apparently sent by a one-year-old boy’s mother, demanded a number of gifts for guests to bring to the party.
She asks for a water table, a play tunnel, tent and book for her one-year-old, adding she had sent a separate list to her mother and sister-in-law to ‘avoid duplication’.
An anonymous Reddit user shared the invitation, explaining a colleague received it from a family with a ‘very significant income’.
“With [our child’s] birthday coming up, we thought we’d ask for four items that he will really get a lot of use out of in the coming months,” the invite says.
It adds: “If you choose to get something that isn’t on this list, anytime regardless of birthdays or holidays, please be sure to always include a receipt going forward.
“When we return items without receipts, we only get about 50 per cent of the value, so it’s like throwing away money if you don’t include a receipt with the gifts.”
She also warns against any personalised gifts, as ‘clothing with names could lead to kidnapping’.
