Hi ladies this is my first post and I really don’t know what to do. My niece is 6 months pregnant and planning a baby shower next month which I am invited to.
The thing is I really don’t like the idea of baby showers - I think they’re yet another Americanised idea which is unnecessary and OTT. My niece has joked about doing this as a great way to get extra gifts for her and her unborn baby, I find it all a bit tacky.
I’m more than happy to get her a gift as well as when the baby is born so it’s not about that, I just feel I would be hypocritical attending when I seem to dislike the idea of baby showers so much.
Would it be better to politely decline and give her a gift or should I just put my personal feelings to one side and go and pretend to enjoy myself?
