[quote=Anonymous]agree with the PP who said the friend should volunteer to send the registry information around (and ditch the "send gifts by X date" line - instead of that, you can just say baby is expected {date} and folks will generally get the idea).

this is not about money for so many people - it's about wanting to celebrate a huge milestone in their lives with their family and friends - as they likely no doubt did for countless other baby showers, bridal showers, weddings, etc.  They just to be able to feel like the new baby is acknowledged and celebrated.  And even if you're well off and older, it doesn't mean you have ANY supplies for the baby ready.  Yes, you can go buy them, but again, it's about the occasion and wanting to feel celebrated and in turn celebrate with your friends.  having a baby is a huge life event for anyone and it's particularly hard during this pandemic, so would try to be gentle with the mama to be!  and be excited for her and the baby to come.
