Say what? I understand she is on the other side of the country, but this is so gift-grabby it is gross IMO.

blush64 · July 2012

I think that's awful.

EDIT I tried to comment.

twister22 · July 2012

I find it hilarious the things that people think are acceptable. You should not receive an invitation to send someone a gift. If I want to send someone out of town a gift, I will do so without being prompted by an invitation. Goodness gracious.

Oh barf. That is so bad. Did she ask the "attendees" if they wanted to participate before she sent out the invites? If an invite like that showed up on my doorstep I would not want to do it!

She probably created a FB group for it.

The comments are equally amazing. Everyone gushing about what a fabulous idea it is since it "helps with the great expenses that come with co-habitation and new arrivals".

I think I just puked a little in the back of my mouth. I feel awful for the MTB!

I know, the comments are a big WTF! I'm surprised no one from here has commented on her post.

"If I put this in a pretty package and take cool pictures and blog about it, that makes it a cool idea!!!".

Ugh.

sabriel1 · July 2012

oh my goodness, that is sooo bad. Yikes!

The comments are what gets me as ewll... looks like some people with half a brain ended up commenting in the end though

Cranang · July 2012

That person at the end was me. I'm guessing the one right before mine if from here too...LOL.

MCookie816 · July 2012

It looks like she deleted all of the negative comments and put up a lovely note to the Bump users that our negativity is not welcome on her blog.

EastCoastBride · July 2012

Now she has it set up that she has to approve the comment. Ha. I said "So, anyone who doesn't agree that this is a good idea is being "disrespectful"? O.k. - good to know".

PunkyBooster · July 2012

That is attrocious.

Just once, I'd love to see a non-AW, well thought out, well written, classy blog. Just once.

Cranang · July 2012

Yeah, that is one lame as$ blog. Lots of glitter and puppies and rainbows. AND DELUSION.

I think it's nice to want someone to be surprised by gifts when they are pregnant and know people are thinking of them and want to celebrate their LO. However, I think sending out an "invite" where you just tell people to send gifts is really poor manners. This could be done on a smaller scale with just the immediate family and phone calls - you know, hey mom this is what I was thinking to do for jane, want to join me?

This would have been a fine idea, keeping it small and only between siblings/parents and keeping it casual...no invitations to send presents.

I tried to comment and she took down the entire post.

Same here.

Do you think she's lurking here?

Lamesauce.

Cranang · July 2012

She took her whole post down? Jeez, what a little princess!

I'm sure she'll make an account and post shortly telling us we're all big fat meanies and how everyone loved receiving an invite ordering them to purchase a gift.

wildel · July 2012

Can't believe she took it down! I'm always amazed at people that post things on the internet and then can't deal with criticism.

notkateanymore · July 2012

OK, she took it down...give me the high{low}lights.

EdenJaine · July 2012

Lurking over here while trying to plan a shower.. but now you've got me sucked in! What was her "idea"? Haha I didn't get there before she took it down!
