Simple Birthday Gift Advice

In light of the fact that yesterday was my birthday (Happy Birthday to me, Happy Birthday to me), I thought I would write today about the tricky party tradition of birthday gifts. The most important thing to remember when shopping for or making a birthday present is the personality of the person who'll be receiving the gift. I've gotten some great gifts in my life, but I've also gotten some pretty horrible ones, and the best way to make sure your gift is always remembered as a great idea or gesture is to make sure it's in keeping with the birthday person's tastes or interests.

RSVP Reservations

Penelope-
I’m planning a 60th birthday party for my mother, but a bunch of my friends didn’t ever RSVP to the last party I threw and I ended up having to call and harass them just to get a ‘no.’ How can I be sure my mother’s friends won’t act the same way?
