talk about tacky...
I found this on my BMB. The offender is the step-cousin of the OP. It's about a baby shower invite.
barf.

Re: talk about tacky...
One of my friends had a "shower-by-mail" but she lives in China and her friends/family are all over the world. She posted videos of her opening the cards from everyone. It was really a cute way to do it with everyone being so far apart.
Another friend lives in Alabama and I didn't have the vacation time available to go to her shower, so I mailed a gift and my contribution to the baby advice game. I can understand specific requests and doing the games by mail in those kinds of situation.
But if everyone is in the same general area, I do think it's tacky. Come on, how hard can it be to have an actual shower, even if it's just chips, dips and cokes in someone's living room?
I totally agree with you. Ican understand being far away from everyone. i also agree that it's easy to just get people together low key.
but in this case... this girl can't even remember if she's even met her step cousin! haha
Yikes! That's definitely tacky in my book. Like Dorothy said, it's one thing if the mom-to-be lives far away from everyone and can't have a shower in person, but that just sounds incredibly rude and gift grabby.
Given that the OP doesn't even remember her, I hope she just throws the "invite" away and forgets all about it.

What? That's not an acceptable way to have a baby shower? D@mn...there goes my plan.
I would definitely toss it in the trash and never think about it again. Ridiculous.

Hahaha!
That is ridiculously tacky! Dorothy, a "shower-by-mail" for someone in China sounds really cute! I liked that she posted video!
But an invite that insists on gift cards? From someone this person isn't sure she knows? That's crazy!!

I think you've said this really well. That is a cute way to do the shower if everyone is scattered, but I agree - if you can feasibly get everyone together it is really tacky.
