Hello everyone, just looking for opinions. I have 3 girls (14, 9 & almost 2) I am currently due in May with a Boy! My best friends are insisting on throwing me a Baby Sprinkle (since I only have girl things), nothing crazy just a BBQ in my yard. Someone who was invited sent me a text after receiving the invitation & said "Are you really having another Baby Shower & expecting gifts" I was a little annoyed & have yet to respond. Is it wrong they are throwing me a Baby Sprinkle?
Re: Baby Sprinkle
I don't know how you are supposed to respond to that text. Good luck.
We through my best friend a lunch instead- 8 girlfriends took her out and gave her gifts bc we wanted to. It was super low key and all 8 girls wanted to get a gift so there were no invites to people who weren't interested.
Honestly though, if a friend offered to plan one for me, I wouldn't be opposed. Especially if you know you're having the opposite gender of what you already have. However, I wouldn't be too keen to attend a sprinkle that I heard the mom REQUESTED.
That being said - you didn't ask for this, it was offered. So I think the best response would be "yes we are having one. So and so wanted to throw a little get together and I thought that would be fun. Gifts are not expected at all. But I hope you can come"
I agree that it was rude of that guest to text YOU about it. If anything they should confront the host if they have a problem with it. Or better yet - keep your opinion to yourself and just don't go! It's an invitation. Not a mandatory event!!
I'm all about celebrating babies! I do think if you were throwing it yourself and expecting/demanding gifts that it's a little tacky but to each their own BUT that's not the case here... your friends are the ones throwing you the sprinkle and it sounds like it's just a good time to celebrate the birth of your first son. so to the person who text you that, they are a D-bag!
I say brush off the rude woman and enjoy your friends
