[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'd want to know as a host, and I'd receive it very well if you just said something like, "I'm really looking forward to Jane's baby shower and will definitely be there! If it matters for your arrangements, I am vegetarian. I can always find something to eat, so no need to make special accommodations, but I wanted to let you know in case it helps you with the catering." [/quote]

Noooooo!  This is not the host's problem.  If you have an allergy, ok, but not because you choose to be veg.  If you have a religious objection to eating meat, maybe.  But your lifestyle choice, take a clue from Anna Scott (Julia Roberts) in Notting Hill and be polite and eat what you can.  Approach wait staff if you think you must, but [b]don't give the host any more to worry about[/b].[/quote]

Seriously, how hard is it to say "have three vegetarian meals on hand?" That took 10 seconds to type, 5 seconds to say to the caterer. This is not a big deal.[/quote]

You are assuming you are the only one with a preference and that you are the only person or that is the only preference that should be catered to.[/quote]
