[quote=Anonymous]It is not tacky. If it is her first child it is totally appropriate under the circumstances. I think she should also have on online Zoom party where she does the opening of the gifts. Instead of judging her you should be happy she is welcoming a new baby! You need to think about you level of friendship and think about whether you are really her friend or an acquaintance. What is tacky is someone's so call friend coming on here posting this. Ugh! [quote=Anonymous]My friend sent me an image of her “mail-in” “shower” invite asking me if it’s tacky and it’s so tacky it’s cringeworthy.

“We would love to celebrate with our close family and friends, however times are difficult to gather, so we invite you to mail your gift or card so baby can feel your love near and far.” Tacky tacky tacky, but it gets worse:

“Please mail gift by June 4th.”

I’m a little horrified, but chose to ignore the first part and just gently addressed the deadline bit...she responded “I wanted to have a deadline so I can get what I still need before she’s born.” I do understand where she’s coming from and feel for her that she can’t have a real shower, but there are much better ways to do these things.

I haven’t responded yet because I don’t even know what to say. [/quote][/quote]
