yes! exactly!  I love everyone's responses on here but the sucky thing is I've known her since highschool and it's not something to end a friendship over (we aren't that close, see each other every 2 months or so) and I'm left in a really awkward situation, much as all of her other invitees! Just really surprised that she would be that rude and gift grabby! I know things are financially tight for them right now, but never in my life have I heard such ridiculousness!!

Don't go! I have a friend who is throwing her own baby shower this weekend, and I am not attending because of that and because this is NOT her first baby! Her son is 2 years old, and she even bought a ton of girl clothes for this child so she doesn't need those. At least she is not asking for us to bring a covered dish like she did for the last baby shower!

Got a baby shower invite on facebook, so that's problem #1.  The couple is hosting the shower themselves, and how close is this to blatantly asking for gifts??

"Who's excited?! We are!!! We would love to have you at our co- ed shower this August and hope that all of the details provided are helpful.

* Sex: It's a boy!

* Gift Registry: Target and Burlington Coat Factory, also the house is a work in progress so Home Depot gift cards would be much appreciated

* Gifting preferences: Home Depot giftcards help because we are building a baby room! Also, the cloth diapers and laundry items are a priority to us. Please DO NOT purchase any disposables for us.

* Used items welcome: bibs, stroller, burp clothes, clothes: 6 months+, receiving blankets, ALL- IN- ONE CLOTH DIAPERS :-)

* Registry priority: There are no duplicates between the two, please shop at whichever store you frequent/ prefer. We're grateful for whatever you choose!

For all of our out of state family and friends, this serves as an announcement. Feel free to ship something if you'd like, but most of all we wanted you to know :-)"

This is the actual invite, I don't even want to go but feel obligated

I really was hoping that I would get to the end of this and there would be a Gaga just kidding or April fools something... This is just crazy I agree with pp about giving disposable diapers or maybe some used 0-3 clothes since she only wants 6m +. At least you gave us something to talk about over dinner.

Even better, used newborn clothes... muahahahaaa
