Baby Showers

I was told to post this here for your enjoyment....

By the May 13 board.

Just received this FB invite from my aunt-in-law for her daughter-in-law who I have never met. I was tagged in the image. So I did not even get the physical invite.  Also, this is their third kid, the mom is 23.

 If you can't read the bottom it says:

A list of items still needed for Max and Mom is attached (No gift required to attend) If getting gifts please tell us what with RSVP so we can purchase the rest in June.

  • Wow.  Just wow.  I have no words.
  • Because the situation wasn't already awkward enough, she asked her guests to buy her pads?! ugh.

  • There is so much wrong with this. I can't get over the fact that they are inviting people now for an event in July. WTF? And please tell us what you're getting in the RSVP??? Why didn't they just assign who was supposed to bring what.

    O.P. I'd send her the most disgusting looking package of silk granny panties that I could find.

  • Yikes. And weird. I second the underwear remark; how are people supposed to know what size? And she really doesn't have a set of PJs already? Sheesh.

  • That is so sad. Is it possible the MTB isn't responsible for this? Like, maybe she was talking w/ her MIL about what she needed and then...this happened?

  • Yikes.  I'd buy the pads for sure...or maybe the comfy underwear.  Or better yet, you could buy both, open the pads and the underwear, position the pads in the underwear and then wrap them up in a really pretty box.  Ok...don't do that.  But it would be funny;)

    Yes My thoughts exactly. Because nothing says wecome to motherhood (even though it's your third time) like a big box of sanitary napkins. Gross.

  • I'm actually surprised the invitation says no gift required. At least they got one thing right... But then they put it on the invite, so that cancels it out.

  • Regardless of how tacky-I normally say if people want to throw a bunch of showers and people choose to go to them...that's on them. in the end its not my life or my money being spent.

     

     

    But that is just F***ED up!!! Is she making a wish list for Santa Claus? I'm sorry but some of those things like underwear and pads could be bought by the MTB. and bibs are inexpensive so that's something else she could spend her own money own. Not only would I not go, she would get a phone call from me about how rude and disrespectful this is.

     

    I would not go. Absolutely not. This is being greedy and lazy.

    That is for sure the mom to be's writing.

  • This is ridiculous.
  • imageLiz4444:
    I love that they specify the bibs need to be "funny".

    Yes, that's awesome. Also, I love that she's asking for "orthopedic" pacifiers.

    Lol wut?

  • Really? Wow. Just wow. 

    Could she have an issue or maybe something is wrong with her mentally? Well I'm not sure how that explains how this got past her mom or whoever.

    Well thanks for the laugh :)

  • someone needs to tell this girl how ridiculously tacky this is. Every bit of it! Made my night though, lol!
  • This seriously just made my night, have not laughed out loud this hard in a while. Loved all the other comments as well. Her "Things for Mommy" list was our list of things to purchase for ourselves because how embarrassing would it be to open a box of pads at a baby shower??? Hahaha

  • I hope everyone buys her pads- huge mattress pads and wraps them up for her;. Wouldn't that be funny? 30+ packages of pads? ha! lol. They could double as nursing pads too! lol...

    I am just going to untag myself and blame baby brain for not RSVPing. 

    Is it possible that MTB made herself a list of what she needs and the host made a photocopy with out MTB knowing?  That would explain the lack of sizes, right?!?!  I mean no one would ask to open a gift full of pads at a party, that is just weird.

    When I make lists for myself I dont need to write "what baby needs" and "what mommy needs". If its my list then I know who needs what. I also dont draw little doodles around everything either. Maybe thats just me though.

  • Oh em gee! I am seriously belly laughing so hard at this thread. My poor LO probably feels like she's going thru her first earthquake.
    Seriously though, OP you have GOT to go to this shower. We need to hear about any other craziness that may ensue. If the invite/evite /what the heck is that list thingy, is this good, imagine what may happen at the actual event.

    I would definitely buy the pads as well.  I seriously LOL when I read "pads"  on the list of needed items.  This has to be one of the klassiest invites I have ever seen!
