Baby shower...on a Monday?
I'm wondering if anyone else thinks this shower is a little bit odd...
The wife of my cousin is due next month. They live in Alberta. She does not want a baby shower and won't even be there. It starts at 5:30 on a Monday night (tonight). I have never met this woman.
I RSVPd because it's my Dad's side of the family which is HUGE, he has 4 brothers and 5 sisters, and it's really just an opportunity to see family that I don't get to see very often (and give my grandmother her wedding pics so I don't have to make a specil trip out 
)
I'm going by myself since my SIL and brothers girlfriend gave this function the major side eye but did go in with me on a present. We decided to get a GC from Toys R Us and an outfit, since really, how/when are they going to get the presents to them? Will they ship them or give them to them when they are home for Christmas?
Anyone else read this and have this reaction... 
Re: Baby shower...on a Monday?
Yeah, it seems really odd to me. Who's throwing the shower? I don't know what the circumstances are, but it comes across as the mom-to-be saying "I don't want to attend your boring shower, but I'll take the gifts anyway!" Not to mention that a Monday night party is just weird, given the attendance of OOT guests.
Oh well, I'm sure you'll have fun at your Dad's family's reunion anyway! I totally get where you're coming from on that... my mom has 8 siblings and it really is a rare treat to see them all together.

This exactly.
Yeah, major side eye from me on that. If she's not going to be there, I'm not sure what kind of baby-shower it will be.

Ditto on the rudeness factor. Why didn't they just plan if for after she had the baby? Jewish ppl do this all the time, since it's technically taboo to get baby-related items prior to giving birth. But I'm sure you'll have fun spending time with your family anyway.
