My shower invitation design is finalized!
This discussion has been closed.
Re: My shower invitation design is finalized!
Imagine your dear old Aunt Janet, a wonderful caring soul who lives on a small pension but loves all her nieces so very much. She's been looking forward to your shower ever since she heard you were expecting, carefully saving her pennies to get some yarn and knitting you a sweater and a baby blanket. There's love in each purl. <totally emotional violin music>
When she's got that lovely, handmade (but inexpensive, not-on-your-registry) gift finished, she gets your shower invite and notices that it says "bring expensive diapers" in really big print. Your dear old Aunt Janet falls back onto her dear old chaise lounge, limp with sorrow. She can't afford regular diapers for you, much less the fancy diapers. She thinks about the inexpensive (but lovely and handmade) present she was eagerly looking forward to giving you, and she thinks to herself, "oh, but my dearest niece won't have any enjoyment from a gift like that!" and your dear old Aunt feels like there is no place at the shower for her, since she can't celebrate it the way you specified on the invite.
tl; dr: Diaper raffles: just say no or dear old Aunt Janet will think you don't like her.
You do understand that the fact that we are pregnant doesn't mean that everything we do is governed by hormones, right? We do, in fact, have some control over ourselves. You want to disagree with the points made here, fine, but you're going to have to come up with a better line of reasoning than "bah, hormones!"
Just checking in, I'm just got back from my babymoon in Kauai and thought I would see how things are!!
It was so gorgeous and tropical! I had an amazing time being pampering the whole time by my doting and adoring hubby.
I think I'm also going to get one of those what are they called? Push presents? Yeah I want something sparkly like a diamond. I deserve it!!
Lmfao!!! Have a great day!!!!
Oh good, you updated. Everyone was so worried!
Also, am I the only person who thinks a push present is extremely patronising? "Thanks for pushing my kid out, sweetie! Here's a shiny trinket for you to play with!". What are you, a fucking magpie?

While we may not care, clearly the OP does. A great deal. Why else do you take the time to come back and reply to a long-dead thread and then also start an entirely new thread just to AW to a bunch of complete strangers?

She's klassy! Like Kim Kardashian! She's better than me because she has more expensive things!
I bet her husband can't believe his luck.
