[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I posted yesterday about finding out that I was only invited to the "C List" shower. I checked out the registry and all the gifts are above $50. Most are around $100. And there is a $400 breast pump. We are on our way to Target now to buy a more budget friendly gift. [/quote]

I didn't see your post, but if you know you're C list, why go? I'd just get a little gift when the baby is born. [/quote]

I RSVP'd before learning that it was the third shower and all the other family went to a different one. This one will be me and a bunch of random people she must think have money to burn.[/quote]

I didnt read your post but isnt' it possible that you are a good friend but fit in best with this group (vs. hanging out with her in-laws, or whatever)[/quote]

I'm the dad's cousin. I was the only relative at the "C list" shower. Every other relative went to a shower on New Year's Day. I thought I was left out because I was sick around that time. I didn't mind that. I learned about that there was a second shower the following Saturday for the new mom's girlfriends from college and work. Yesterday's shower was mostly women over age 60 from her church, a few neighbors, her long-time hair stylist, and me.  I was an after thought. It's not the end of the world, but I did feel like I was invited to provide a pricey gift. As we were leaving, we were each given a Save the Date postcard to address for the Sip'N'See. I thought a Sip'N'See was in lieu of a shower.[/quote]
