WWYD? 3rd baby shower

in Toddlers: 12 - 24 Months

I have just recieved an invitation to a "surprise" shower for an old co-worker (3+ years ago) And yes, it is her 3rd child, but a different shower. I can understand if the daddy's family were throwing it, because this would be his 1st, but its her sister and mom that are throwing it.

I have invited her to a number of events (wedding, showers, parties etc,) but she always has had some excuse not to go, and no we didn't recive a gift or card from her. But that didn't really bother me, but it would have been nice for her to go to something that she'd been invited to seeing as she'd introduced me and H.

I haven't seen her in 6 months, and the only reason I saw her then is that I went to the mall and she was working, and we never talk on the phone or email. So the question is, should I go? And if I don't should I send a gift?

    I probably wouldn't go. But I would send a gift because I would feel tremendous "etiquette guilt" if I didn't. I just wouldn't spend that much.

    I lean towards sending a Congrats card and go on.

    Huh?  Wow, that is ballsy.  I just wouldn't go.  Send your regrets on the RSVP and don't worry about a gift.  If it were someone close I probably would overlook the multiple shower thing but it doesn't sound like you all are close.

    I wouldn't go, but I might send a congratulations card (no gift though).

    i don't know. i think it is a bit odd. i just saw on fb that my cousin's cousin registered at BRU and it's her 3rd girl... it is strange to me. if you don't care about going then don't. i'd probably end a gift, but a small one.

    Sounds like she is just fishing for gifts.  I wouldn't even go.

    Eh.  I guess I wouldn't go, but I'd send a card.  I was given a shower for my 3rd child when I had one for my 2nd (none for DD#1).  I didn't want it because we had everything already, but DH's sisters were trying to make themselves feel better for not doing anything for DS (a close friend threw one).  Long story short, we didn't know the sex and we received ALL pink???? ::sigh::: They got lucky DD came out sans penis Wink

    Is it possible that this old coworker is just going along with it?

    I would not go. The most I would send is a card. No gift.
