Classless and tacky are what I would call them...how crass can someone be?

KAAC, I agree with you! I think you should start a fund for your next car mishap or the next astronomical energy bill you receive!

I think you ought to comment on her "invitation" that instead of donating you'll be asking for donations in order send her a book on etiquette.

This makes me wonder why the guy would marry her.

Rules are:
You MUST donate money to the babies savings account that We have set up! All money must be in by the 30th. Remember to send your return address or email and we will send out the results on the 1st!!
She really thinks all her 200-odd Facebook friends care that much about the sex of her baby? She must have "the kind of deluded self-confidence that caused men like Ross Perot to run for president." (Sex and the City reference)

The way it's worded, sounds like only ONE person can be the first. Therefore, only one donation. SEND HER THAT PENNY!

I think the big baby showers are tacky too. (Not as tacky as raffling off the sex, but still tacky!)

You know the ones held in banquet halls and fire halls with 200 of their close friends! LOL

I always send my regrets (without gift) when I get those invitations.

I will not go to a baby shower unless it's a very close friend or relative.

The mentality of inviting every acquaintance a person knows is all about greed.

Unbelievable! I don't know what the heck people like this are thinking?! It's like someone who thinks they should get a shower for EACH child they have.

Eh, I don't know. You can usually tell if they are fishing for gifts. I think a lot of times they invite everyone to be nice. I've seen wars over "why wasn't I/my daughter/my neighbors cousins brothers wife not invited".
