How would you handle?

JordyInIndy

I recieved a facebook message over the weekend from a girl that I worked with when I was in high school, asking for my address so she could send me an invite to her baby shower. We were friends but I wouldn't say especially close because we really didn't hang out outside of work. I haven't worked with her since I was 17, so roughly 10 years. I also don't think I've seen her once in those 10 years and our only "communication" has been random comments on facebook here and there. I also had no clue she was pregnant. I feel like she's grabbing at people to invite for gifts. I don't want to be a huge b*tch and ignore her message but I also don't want her to waste her stamp, invite, and time on sending me an invite. What would you do? Would you go? Tell her sorry but no thanks? Tell her you'd like to catch up first and a baby shower after 10 years of not seeing each other isn't the place?

Honestly, I can't think of a nice way of saying "Hey, don't waste your money, I'm not coming to your baby shower because I don't give two real shakes about you anymore." 

I'd either let her send the invite and then decline because you have so

Can't find it and I defriended her. I guess my messages were deleted.

It was something like "I am honored you want me to spend your special time with you. Unfortunately, I am not comfortable sharing my personal contact information with people

And shower invites are more than 1.50 with postage. Unless, you get the ugly cheap ones from a dollar store.

She can see that you've seen her message once you've read it. So I think you should at least respond. I would probably let her send me the address and decline going. Then, I'd probably defriend her in a month or two.

Then again, I'm super non-co

I can't stand the moochers (sp?).  I once had a distant friend invite me to her shower, which I politely declined.  She then sent me (and my other friends who are also her distant friends) a FB message saying "I know you can't come to my shower,
