[quote=Anonymous]PP mentioning the education and income skew on DCUM is spot on. I’ve received a similar invitation (with a virtual shower and a deadline lol) and I do think it has to do with income. Many people need help with baby stuff. (To me, that’s a good reason to not have a baby just yet or scale down your expectations, but I digress.) Even if that’s not the issue, I get it. I’m a FTM whose showe has been cancelled and while we can afford what we need, it makes me sad to know I won’t get to participate in the community aspect of a shower. I would also love to be able to say, Aunt so and so bought you that blanket. Several folks have asked for our registry but only 2 have made purchases for our June baby. I think if there’s no shower, most people opt out on giving a gift. Such is life. [/quote]
