I saw this on facebook (name has been changed). Surly this isn't going to start becoming a "thing." BTW this is her second child and her husband has 2 or 3 kids from another marriage........
This is a virtual baby shower!! No actual party will happen. Instead you are invited to mail in baby shower gifts to Mary's address during a week period. After the week is over a picture of all the gifts will be posted so that everyone can see!!
Showered with love: I would like for all the gifts to arrive within the same week for the shower effect!!
Best of both worlds: All the fun of seeing a baby spoiled with great gifts but no silly games! Or travel!!!!
Mary's address, due date, and sex of baby.

Re: Virtual Baby Showers?!
So basically I want all of you to send me gifts but I really do not want to see you/spend time with you. . . ..
I like the request to be sure that they all arrive in the same week. That's klassy

She didn't create the event. BUT, she is posting under the event quite often. So, I guess at least she didn't make it herself, ha.
Exactly. I went ahead and clutched my fab pearls over this monstrosity. GROSS.

Nicely put, I strongly agree.
Nope, not Skype! She isn't on bedrest or anything else that would possibly make this acceptable!
Wow Im new at all this but I got intense remarks for my last baby shower post so I know mothers wont like this one but It doesnt make sense.
LOL.
That's just gross. I can't believe anyone has the nerve to even ask for a "shower" like this.

Well I had a similar shower before, but I think the details made it okay. One of our family members was having a baby and she was the only one that lived out of state about 15hrs away so it was highly unlikely anyone would attend an actual shower but of course we all wanted to be there and shower her with baby stuff. We did get a proper invitation in the mail telling us is was a mail shower and we were all supposed to send the gifts the same week so she would be "showered" which I was late on but I thought since it wasn't in person no harm.
It would have been nice if she posted the pics of what she got so we could ohh and ahh over the items.
Now if she lived within a couple of hours and tried to have a virtual shower that would be ridic.
Precisely. A proper shower should entail adequate entertainment (food, activity, games if that is their fancy) as a thank you to the guests who were kind enough to spend their money on a gift and time on attendance. To have a virtual shower, whether by photo or Skype, is like saying, "I want you to spend money on me, but we don't want to properly thank you or spend time with you." Lame.
And speedy, I love you for your Shelden siggy.
That's what I would do, and add the note: A virtual gift for your virtual baby shower!
Seriously, unless you are on bedrest (or hospital confined, or some other legitimate issue), I wouldn't buy a gift for a person that does this.
