Colour dress code for baby shower

[PinkBrigadeUgh]

Am I unreasonable or is this awful. Received invite to a baby shower today and we have to wear pink if we are attending. I’m more of a black is the new black type. Help!

Ffs! It sounds like hell.

Ergh. YANBU.

Ugh, no that’s ridiculous, I’d just decline.

I don’t own anything pink & I refuse to buy something just for an event that I’ll never wear again, and it’s just irritating!

Turn it down if you own nothing pink (ie don’t spend money cotta money on it) but otherwise just suck it up. It’s a dumbass party for no real reason. Drink lots of wine, smile a lot, leave, change clothes.

Ridiculous idea, if you want to go could you just wear a pink bracelet/necklace/socks/hairband etc as a nod to it maybe?

Thats a no from me

Ooooh, oooooh, please go in green.

Pleeeease. I want to know what they'll do.

Maybe I'm the minority but I don't see the big deal with this! Maybe not your ideal, but not a huge deal?

I expect its for the Instagram pics.. 🙄🙄🙄

Awful. Unless it was a close friend I just wouldn’t attend as I don’t own anything pink. If you absolutely have to go, just chuck on a pink scarf thing.

I’d be busy that day. Doesn’t matter which day it is, I’m busy.

Ugh. I hate all this twee pink for a girl and blue for a boy shite, also hate any event where I'm told what to wear. I wouldn't go.

"if we are attending" that's the important bit right there

Of course you could turn up dressed in blue and claim you misunderstood the instructions and thought it was dress in pink if you thought she was going to have a girl and blue for a boy <insert tinkly laugh>

W the actual F????

It's a bit OTT but you could borrow a pink top for the occasion. Better to just join in graciously I think (if you want to go) rather than make a point.

Fantastic! Now you don’t have to go as you don’t have any clothes that fit the dress code.

Just sounds like another reason to not go to me.

If it was someone really, really, really close who really wanted you to be there, then you are close enough to tell them not to be ridiculous. If they aren't that close then it won't matter that you don't go.

I don't own a single pink item of clothing. I hate pink.

There is no way I would purchase something pink just for a daft party.

All pink or can you just throw on a pink scarf? I don't anything pink and not buying something just for a shower, the very concept of which I have my doubts (and I grew up in America).

Have you got any pink accessories? Or pink nail polish ( reaching ).

I’d wear blue!

Ridiculous.

Pink nails

I really dont understand all the horrified responses to being asked to wear pink.
It's not like they are asked to show up naked or something. If you have something pink and want to go, then wear it. If you dont but would like to go, borrow something pink. It's really not a big deal.

It isn't the colour per se, RootBeer, it is the micro managing and turning what some think of as a nice social occasion in to a performance, or show in which people are just puppets or characters.
