    I am not the most creative with wording, so no ideas for you there. But I love the idea of the book exchange!

    I can't think of anything clever right now, but I'll think about it. I love the idea and want to do a similar thing for my girls :)

    I would just say something like "in lieu of gifts, please bring a new, wrapped book for our book exchange."

    I wanted to do this for their birthday this year, but was overruled by my husband since this was their first *real* party.

    I would suggest something like "no birthday gifts please, but we do ask that each child bring a new, wrapped book for our fun book exchange!"

    It is a wonderful idea especially if you feel they have enough toys from Christmas time if (birthdays are right after Christmas) I would have done the same thing! They don't need MORE--but love your idea! Have fun! Let us know how it turn out, :)

    What a great idea! Especially since my kiddos LOVE books, have no idea yet that their friends will be bringing presents to their party, and their b-day is so close to Chrsitmas too. I just wish I would have thought of it for their upcoming 3rd b-day party next week. It would help in my "guilt" of people bringing two presents to the party too!

    I LOVE this idea! I'll file it away for future use, for sure! My girls' birthday follows Christmas, so I can imagine we'll end up in the same boat.

    A suggestion, TAG books are great investment too! :)
