I live in a small town and almost half the town goes to the same church. Today, in the bulletin for the service, there was a note at the bottom:
"(Name) is having a baby shower today at 1pm! It will be hosted by her mother and is located at (MTB's mom's home). Gifts aren't necessary, but welcome!"
So....this is her third baby (all boys). And her mom is throwing her a shower and inviting people via the church bulletin???
I could not suppress a snort when I saw it.

It's definitely weird to have more than 1 shower. I can understand if she had never had one before, but 3!!??!! That's a little excessive. Plus personally, my mother asked for a list of people we wanted at our shower. She pretty much offered to pay and we can handle the details, but I wouldn't want a bunch of people I don't know or am not close too at my baby shower. I like the socializing aspect and I would want to feel comfortable and not overwhelmed.

You make a suggested donation around here for that sort of thing. Not a lot but $25 or $50 or whatever. Our church has a school. The bulletin's revenue from the ads and announcements support some of their programs after printing costs. It is expensive to print bulletins for large urban churches. So yes this is a thing.
