I'm wondering if there is a polite way to ask invitees to give secondhand gifts? My son's birthday is coming up and I would love to ask people to bring a used book as a gift, but I've always felt that "telling" someone what to bring was a bit rude. What do you think?<BR/><BR/>Thanks!Alisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14393881963709301143noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12364613.post-83323929393655057992009-02-17T00:20:00.000-06:002009-02-17T00:20:00.000-06:00That looked great!

Another possibility for the banner without punching holes would be those tiny little wooden clothespins, I think I got mine at Jo-Ann Fabric & Crafts and use them to display greeting cards on ribbons.
