to think this is ridiculously grabby?

[queentroutoftrouts]

I have received a baby shower invitation via Facebook from an acquaintance and she has listed various requests including
please bring size 4 nappies and wipes
£10 cash or vouchers for next and mother care, NO PRESENTS PLEASE
£10 entry fee and at the bottom she has added 'men allowed'
Is this the done thing nowadays then or aibu to be shocked at how entitled she is being? Since when did you charge guests to attend your baby shower?
The size 4 nappies are presumably for her elder child unless she is giving birth to a giant.

@MissDexter

It wasn't an outing (at least I don't think it was an apologise profusely if that's the case) the screenshot was posted by an admin of a Facebook site not the person who received it (at least to the best of my knowledge)

Apologies again if that wasn't the case.

Hallo to clarify - we have WITHDRAWN this post as it included a RL name- which may or may not be linked to the OP.

Best thread in ages!! Thanks OP!

Have I missed anything?

It's tomorrow! Please let us know op,my life is dull, I need the stimulation of this thread x

Is OP still around?

There are no reviews of this event on Tripadvisor. Did it go ahead OP? X

I think it's today Paula.

Oh no, my mistake, it was yesterday.

Anything to report OP?

TheCunny - I'm waiting with bated breath here!!!! My life is a bit dull

I didn't attend personally but i heard along the grapevine so to speak. Apparently only the men were charged an entry fee in the end, there was ALOT of alcohol and a few drunk teenagers and it ran on into the early hours with unsupervised small children running around, although there was a spat with a guest that she accused them of being anti social and that they had only come for the alcohol, bizarre.

and it is still me i have just name changed :)

Another pile of crap we took from the yanks, along with Proms.

I really don't see the point of a baby shower. It's just a grabby thing to do full stop. Of course everyone brings a present and then they buy more when the baby is born and then potentially another if the baby is christened.

Sounds like a classy affair then
