Evangeline's first birthday is coming up and I'm going to be sending out invitations this week. OMG CRIES!

However I know EXACTLY what my MIL is going to do, and possibly a few others. My parents my try and do it as well.

Its Evie's birthday but family will buy hunter presents too, because they won't want him to feel left out. However now that we have 2 children they need to learn and understand that they each have a special day and it needs to remain special to that child while growing up. Not, we get birthday presents on everyone's birthday! MORE PRESENTS!!!!! WOO!

I do not want it to go that way.......so I'm wondering if it would be tacky to put a slip of paper in with the invitations that said something like, "Please respect our wishes and refrain from buying Hunter any presents on Evangelines special day....."

But I'm not sure how to word it..........any help or suggestions on the entire thing would be very much appreciated!

anyhow I'm sure my MIL will over step her boundries anyhow and still get him something, so if this happens anyhow........what would you do in that situation?
