I've just been invited on a three day/two night baby shower

WTF?!

Travelling to another city; meal on day/night one, 'activities' on day two followed by another meal at another restaurant. Brunch on the third morning. Two nights in pricey hotel. Plus expensive gift list. Plus themes to have to dress for such as 'pink night'

I won't be attending. The 'Mama' as she calls herself on the invites didn't even invite me to her daytime wedding, just the evening do, so I'm clearly not that good a friend!

I'm in the US where baby showers are a must. I'm also Mexican and Mexican baby showers are HUGE. Co ed too. BUT this is freaking insanity! Who does this! Wow

OP “Mama” sounds hideous. Steer clear.

That wouldn't be my idea of fun but I'm sure some groups of friends would enjoy it. It's just a silly excuse to go away for a weekend and have fun. It's an invite so you can decline if it's not your thing. I don't get why you would feel annoyed by it 🤷🏻‍♀️

She didn't get invited.

It says she did in the title @myeyesneverstoprolling. It was the wedding day she didn't get an invitation for.

I would just see it as an excuse to have a girls weekend before she's bogged down with a newborn. I personally wouldn't expect for it to be paid for. Regardless of if there is a baby shower or not I would give a gift. If you don't want to go just decline and move on. Its not that big a deal. It is self absorbed and weird that she wants to do this for her third child. But it could just be that she needs a few days away from the other 2 children and wants to spend it with friends before the third comes along.
