[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How old is your friend and is this her first?  Serious question.  If she's 25 having her first child, fine - try and do it right.  If she is 40 and established just forget it.  She doesn't need the gifts - she can afford everything on her own.  [/quote]

+1. I'm with you on this and so over our American shower culture. I am sick of being asked to throw big showers for UMC 38 year olds. I'd like to see a shift where if this is your situation and you want a party for the baby, you throw it; you don't "need" anyone to buy you your Bugaboo. This is, however, a pretty unpopular opinion.

We are early 30s and covering the rental fee for our venue for this exact reason. Parents are bringing in outside food for us. We want a big shower (couples, lots of family in the area + friends) to celebrate our first kid, we've already bought the big ticket items ourselves - really no one needs to buy our Vista for us, and we just want to celebrate with everyone![/quote]
