Do you think this is rude?
One of my coworkers is getting married in October. Another coworker volunteered to have a shower for her at her home. When I saw her yesterday, I asked her what kind of shower it was--since it didn't say on the invite and I'd heard it was a personal shower--and after she answered she proceeded to tell me "You know you need to bring an appetizer, something unique, not ordinary." Do you think this is rude? I mean, to me, if you throw a shower, you're responsible for the snacks. I can see asking a few people who you might be close to pitch in, but everyone? There's probably going to be over 20 people at this shower. P.S. I think I'm a little prejudice because I really dislike the person throwing the shower. So much so, that after she said that, I'm thinking about not going even though I really like the guest of honor. What do you think?
Re: Do you think this is rude?
I could go either way on this. On the one hand, we all brought food, supplies, etc. when having showers for coworkers. There was never one person responsible for all the work and preparation. Your co-irker has volunteered the use of her home, so she'll be cleaning, decorating, and probably putting forth more effort than the rest of you. I don't think it's out of line to ask for help.
But, I don't like the way she asked. Bring something special/out of the ordinary? That rubs me the wrong way. And yes, according to the rules of etiquette, the shower host shouldn't ask guests to bring anything. But IMO, workplace showers are different.
I agree with the other ladies that most times when it's a work shower everyone normally pitches in and brings a dish, but ughhh telling you what kind of dish to bring?!? I would tell her I was bringing chips or something really simple like that just out of spite! Plus, I would let her know - in a subtle way of course- that you thought since it was at her house she had things taken care of, that's how all of the other showers you have ever been to were ran!
I definately think it's rude the way she asked, but I would still go!
I would still go though. Just keep reminding yourself that it's about the bride, not this girl.
Ditto.
You could always bring these:

Put them in a diaper and it fits with the theme.... and it's definitely not ordinary.
