[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Under most circumstances, yes.

There are exceptions.

What is the situation here, OP?[/quote]

OP here. I was going to add more details earlier but I got busy. A friend of my had a huge baby shower for her first child ( a boy). She is having a girl in the fall and her mom planned a baby shower for her in July. They canceled it but sent out emails telling people where to send the gift. They got many items and rally don’t need any big ticket items, but she is asking for everything in pink. Her cheapest item is $200. My husband said not to send her anything. They are both doctors and can afford to get these items.

My husband and I have one toddler boy and plan to get pregnant later this year. I would never think to have another baby shower, even if I have a girl. I purposely got everything in neutral colors. I probably will send her a gift but I think it’s really tacky. [/quote]
U

Your friends are really tacky. A family member should never throw a shower either. [/quote]

What? Baby showers are usually thrown by the expecting mothers mom. [/quote]

No,baby showers should not be hosted by mothers or MILs. [/quote]

Host pays for the shower. You think the friends should pay for the shower?

My friends and I do sprinkles for our friends.

This reminds me of a bridal shower a friend hosted. The couple had a destination wedding and bridesmaids were trying to throw a bridal shower for the bride. The mom added all these people but didn’t pay for it. It was a fiasco. My friend was so upset. The bridesmaids were pissed. They felt like they were paying for their wedding. More people attended the shower than the actual wedding.[/quote]
