So I just got this...

dora12 · January 2012

..invite from a friend over facebook.

"The baby shower for family and friends in the valley area!!! ITS A BOY!!! THIS WILL BE A JACK AND JILL PARTY, guys its a bring beer and diapers party... we are registered at Babys r us, target, walmart, burlington coat factory, pottery barn kids, and on amazon wish list....."

Isn't this a long list for the number of registries?....

Well first of all, holy tacky invite. I can't imagine why on earth someone would need to register at more than two stores, let alone six different places.

We registered at two places and even then it was only because BRU carried some of the bigger items we wanted that Target didn't have and it was so we could get the discount completion coupon.

This was exactly what I was thinking. It's not like the first two stores listed are not easily found all over Texas. Plus they pretty much have everything you could possibly need.

Um, yeah - holy moly! I think 2-3 on that list would be plenty. And do they expect you to bring beer, diapers, AND a gift?? Geez.

dora12 · January 2012

I do believe they expect for you to bring all three with you.

katsblaze · January 2012

Wow, just wow.

I was the same with registered only at 2 stores, and my lists were not that long at both places. I can't imagine taking the time to register at 6 different places. I think itis a little overboard.

Wow that's a hell of an invite. So beer, a gift and they couldn't take the time to send out an invitation? I'm a stickler for if you want me to show up and give you something I should at least get an invitation. It can even be an evite but it looks like you are just fishing for gifts when you get a facebook message like that.

dora12 · January 2012

Oh and I forgot to mention this is one of the two showers they are having just in case you can't make it to either one.

I think I'd avoid both. What a turn off.

NeptoonGrl1 · January 2012

Ugg. I agree with Kaesha. I would probably avoid both just because of their invite. It's so gift grabby. I know this is going to sound snobby, but my feeling is that if you are invited to a party and expected to bring a gift, (1) the host should spring for cute paper invitations that get sent in the mail, and (2) in no event should you be expected to provide your own beverages (which doesn't mean they have to have alcohol, they could serve water for all I care).

Also, what guy wants to go to baby shower?

dora12 · January 2012

Yeah...I will probably not be going. It's my mom's birthday that day either way and I plan on taking her out the whole day for some quality time together.

brangela2009 · January 2012

I would definitely decline. The invite was tacky and the expectation of a gift on top of the beer and diapers is worse. I don't mind going to baby showers and giving gifts, but I hate when people expect everyone to buy them all the "necessities" for their baby.

snoopy3319 · January 2012

Not only would I not go, but I think I'd cut those friends out for good. Who does that? I agree that if I'm springing for a gift, you better send a nice invite and have something at least for me to drink when I get there. I was barely able to register at once place, let alone 5 or 6. Wow.

abarber340 · January 2012

I couldn't agree more. How tacky! I'd definitely decline.

And I agree with Neptoon, find me a guy that's interested in going to a baby shower.

Leo713 · January 2012

I'm currently side-eyeing the crap out of these people. You're definitely best off just avoiding.

So I just got this...
