That's pressure you're putting on yourself. Yeah, the invitation is odd, but...why care so much? Unless you really, really care what other people, like whoever organized the virtual sprinkle, think about you? I figure you'll say no, you don't care, but if so, then why give this so much attention?

If you were close to the couple you might know if there are other reasons they don't want an in-person event. Maybe they have reason not to want the mom, dad, or via them, the other child, exposed to covid. Because, yes, that's still a thing, however much people on DCUM like to yell that it isn't. Maybe their older child has a health condition you don't know about, or the preganancy has been tough on the mom.Whatever. You don't know why they don't want an in-person event--do you?

There is no event. Just something that misleadingly looks like an event invitation but is actually a shakedown for cash. Super tacky.

You are obnoxious. Send 5 dollars. Send nothing. Whatever. But stop being so obnoxious, thinking you know people's intentions. Why should they think you are a friend?

Hi, trolly!

OP, just because someone asks doesn’t mean you need to say yes. Just decline and say you’re doing your own thing. Or if you were going to spend $25 anyway then throw $25 towards the gift from the group, if you want. But absolutely do not feel pressured to do anything more than what you were already going to do.
