My bad for clicking on the ‘invitation’

Just pretend you didn't get it or forgot about it. I double dog dare them into calling you out on it.

LOL. That's what the event is - remote and requiring a gift.

Just RSVP no and say you’d already purchased a gift and had it sent to her home. But thanks for including me, so excited for Baby #2!!

Hi, trolly!

OP, just because someone asks doesn’t mean you need to say yes. Just decline and say you’re doing your own thing. Or if you were going to spend $25 anyway then throw $25 towards the gift from the group, if you want. But absolutely do not feel pressured to do anything more than what you were already going to do.

NP to OP:

I’m another person who never contributes online or participates virtually. I make my own cards (labor of love) and honestly tell organizers that my gift will be in the mail/on the way/will be sent separately.

You can always send a nice card with handwritten sentiments.

Absolutely this. I prefer to give a gift when I see the baby and it is usually a Carter's outfit on sale. If I don't see the baby, I will send a card.

Wrong. OP is right to feel like she’s been brought into a gift grab. Sch a rude gross “invitation”

I don't see what the big deal is. I would just send $100 and wish them well.

There’s not even a virtual component. It’s not like “be on Zoom at 4 p.m. on Saturday.” It’s just a group gift request.

The "host" is beyond tacky.

+1. This is how I would respond.
