Hi Jay,
I'm having a really big birthday coming up like a big number and I'm having this awesome celebration, and yeah I'm throwing my own party. I also am putting my birthday wish list and with the invitations. My sister told me yesterday that, this was childish and kinda rude.. but, wouldn't you rather have someone get you something that you actually want instead of something dumb? Like I said, this is a big number. So, I would assume they'd want to get me a nice gift anyways - why not something that I actually want?? - Lisa
