Just got this from some friends of ours. I have seriously never seen anything like it in my entire life...I didn't even know people like this existed - let along in our circle of friends. I am so ashamed right now.
In a few short weeks we are going to be saying hello to a newborn baby girl while waving goodbye to our social lives!
But in the meantime we want everyone to come see us in our new place and bring us a pack of diapers, of which we're going to need about 7,000 over the next few years.
We will provide the snacks, food, witty banter, and light entertainment, while you supply some diapers.
BYOB, but we'll have a case of beer lying around in case those Huggies are just too much for your bank account.

No idea but our friends are asking what brand to buy and talking about how excited they are.
BTW - another friend who threw a shower for me back in July said they invited her and her hubs too - even though they don't even know them or hang out with them. The only contact she ever had with these friends was when she sent them an invite to my shower. So they are even inviting people they don't know...Grabby much?
I guess I just don't understand how if you have money to entertain you SHOULD HAVE $$$ for DIAPERS - so why do WE have to buy them for you? I've got my OWN to buy for Pete's sake.
I'm SURE if you were to call them out on the $$ front, their defense is going to be "but we want to see everyone!". Why they don't get that they can do that WITHOUT demanding diapers is beyond me. But I'm sure that's what their logic is. "Oh - isn't this a fun idea to do for one more party??".
And really - the whole "waving good bye to our social lives"... eye roll.
I don't plan on going. It's 2 days before my due date anyway, so I wouldn't be going anywhere (if how I've been feeling lately is any indication of how I will feel by then.) Not sure if DH will be going, but he's not getting any of our sons diapers to hand off as an entry fee! If he wants to feed this ridiculousness he can buy his own damn diapers - he'd better not think he's stealing from our stash!

I might say yes, except DH and I found out that they invited people who are OUR friends that they've either only met one time or spoke to via email, so I think it's more a grab for free shit.
That invitation is horrible.
If I had the balls, I would show up with a bunch of children, no diapers or beverage. And go super hungry!
