I decided to just copy and paste the text. The OP got an invite to this. Haha some people blow my mind with this stuff!! ....
" 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!!!!
My husband and I don't live near family or any of my close enough friends to even have a shower. So we decided registering would just be tacky. We bit the bullet and purchased our own baby things. I feel like people who truly want to help out will still send gifts/diapers etc... This just screams "pay for our baby!"
I agree with the PP who said no cake no presents haha.
I got an invitation to one of these a little over a year ago. The mom-to-be was one of my old coworkers that I had barely kept in touch with anyway. They obviously just invited all or most of her Facebook friend list. Needless to say, I didn't send a gift for that one.
Re: Another great from BSB..
I'll play the games to get my effing cake.
