I agree with Pam. If this is just a "kids" party then no need for a gift. If this is a parents + kids then a token gift would be the polite thing to bring. It has nothing to do with the reason for the party. If you are invited to someone's home for a party then it's proper to bring something. Or as my mom drilled into my head... never go to a person's house empty handed. If its just a small gathering something food related that can be shared by all is appropriate.
