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.

Entry fee. ha ha ha ha

To think someone actually sat there and thought "oh yea a £10 entry fee" without thinking about how this would look has amused me.

One question how many people has she invited on FB? Does she has like 300 friends? Is everyone invited?

!!!!!!!!

I particularly like the objet d'art featuring the words 'Jack Daniels' in the picture, juxtaposed with 'alcohol free' on the invitation.

The NECK of the woman!!!

Actually, you could read 'alcohol free' as 'the alcohol is free'. Like an all-inclusive trip or something. Ask for access to the free booze before handing over your £10!

Entry fee?????!!! I've been to a lot of baby showers and never have I been asked for specific gifts or to pay! That's mad don't go

That poster!!
You have to go OP

I think the whole thing is grabby and horrible OP but I would take down that image since I can read what the woman's name is just by seeing the top of those letters and I'm sure others can too.

What do you get for your tenner?!

prepperpig i didn't realise i have reported it, you can report it to if you like.

I'm all for baby showers, but an entry fee? That's just ridiculous and greedy.

GUTTED to have missed the "invite"

Damn I missed the flyer!

I hate baby showers. Grabby doesn't cover this woman.

Please repost the invite for those of us who missed it! And yes to Crowd funding the entrance fee! I have an old pair of size 4 asda pull up pants in the cupboard I found cleaning the other day! I'll donate those

I will report back on Friday if I go otherwise I will report back from friends .

I will see If I can repost with the lady's entire name covered, I was doing it on a mac and I'm still not an expert on them!

Good grief.

I missed out on SO MUCH, getting married and having the DDs in the 90's. :(

Please repost the picture, cos my mind is blowing apart at the idea of alcohol at a baby shower.

Oh my good god. I've only been to one baby shower and it was a surprise for two of my mummy friends who were due on the same day. It was lovely, loads of cake and some alcoholic and non alcoholic bubbles.

Charging entrance fee is

There's just so many wrongs in all of this; arranging your own baby shower, having a gift list and then charging for people to attend?!

You realise you have to go OP, this has car-crash written all over it

How rude and grabby, nobody turn up at this rate! Glad you are not going op, I most certainly would give it a miss.

I think she wins at being grabby :o

Oh god. This is incredible.

Can I come?!

No. Just no! I cannot believe the world has come to this.

I'm going to look out for a thread on Saturday morning...

"I arranged a wonderful baby shower for my close friends and family and no one showed up! AIBU?"

I've never been to a baby shower, and definitely never will if there's not alcohol!
