When u invite for a baby shower be grateful what the people buy u it is their choice to go come or not go your baby shower

I think baby showers are about celebrations and the registry is just item ideas. Suggested purchases.
If you are going to be that specific then buy it yourself.
It’s like a Christmas list.
Ideas…
Sometimes I would get exactly what I asked for. Sometimes I would get something similar, and sometimes I wouldn’t get anything like it.
The gift was no less appreciated.

I’m sorry, but this is really rude of you. A gift is someone’s way of showing they care for you and the baby! Maybe they can’t afford what you want or maybe they know about something you will need that you haven’t thought of/don’t know about.

Maybe you shouldn’t be having a baby if you expect everyone else to provide for him/her. People give out of the goodness of their hearts. I cannot fathom being that rude and ungrateful.

Not everyone can afford the stuff moms go through and pick out from places. Also may not be able to pick up that item from a store or have the time to do that. What ever it is you will prob use it because babies are messy and you will prob need 12000 onesies lol

As a parent you should already know you are responsible for buying what your baby needs. If you happen to get something that you “need” from your baby shower then thats wonderful but you should be grateful to get anything. A baby shower is meant to be a fun family and friends celebratory event and it is not all about getting presents. Personally my baby shower reunited me with some family members I hadn’t seen in a long time and that was honestly the best part! If your intention of having a shower is only to save yourself from having to spend money on things you think you need for your baby then good luck to you. Sometimes guests enjoy gifting things that worked well for them as parents. Don’t be so close minded!

I can’t say anything that hasn’t already been said here. I had a baby shower for my 1st baby 20 years ago and didn’t have a registry. I was extremely grateful to be celebrating with those who came. Fast forward to my next 3 kids, no baby showers and no help. I did have friends who sent me gift cards and stuff, all of which were greatly appreciated

I understand where you are coming from but because I know that not everyone can not afford somethings that we as mom’s put on the registry. I was greatful for what ever I got. Rather is was oneies or diapers or bottles. I was not really gifted the high ticketed items,we had to find a way to get those and we did.

If your head is that far up your ass, then cancel your baby shower altogether and pay for it your damn self?
No, there is a reason for a registry…I received so many baby blankets and onesies it was unheard of… and that my daughter was never able to wear before growing out of them. I honestly enjoyed what everyone gave us, but, instead of another 3 blankets or spring outfits in the winter, I would have preferred some more bottles or diapers. I ALWAYS buy off the registry when there is an occasion for this reason. You never know what family members have had made for a little one that is to be special, or things that people already have. Yes, it’s great to get any gifts at all, but there is a reason registry’s exist. Use them.

Wow! I think you should be happy people came to celebrate your pregnancy with you. I think you should be grateful for whatever you get. If you can’t return it and won’t use it donate to someone… there are people out there who aren’t so ungrateful and rude! Buy your own shit next time! With the attitude you have i doubt anyone will show up to your next shower!
I hear you mama, but i personally feel you should be grateful. Maybe that’s all they could afford? Or maybe they thought it was something you’d like?
But I definitely agree with gift receipts!!
first-world problems. seriously. lol

but wasn’t possible because this time with this silly virus going on .
But can i tell you something when some friends or relatives buying stuffs for my kids i am over the moon not for the stuff and money they spend but only because they think about my little souls.
Appreciate everything you get doesn’t metter if is worth a pound or 1000 pounds is not aboute money is price less most important thing is that you know before that person thinks of you and your baby.
When racism and social class will get over we all live in a better world.

Depending on how close I am to the person having the baby I may go off registry as in I buy one thing from the registry and a few little nick nacks not on there. You can never have enough burp cloths. My mom taught me a hack, the old fashion cloth diapers that you have to fold? Yea they wash out better and last longer than the burp cloths they sell today, if you’re using them as burp cloths. So even if your using disposable diapers I always buy one cheap pack of cloth diapers with a cute little note explaining there intent. Now that I have my own baby it’s so true. My friends have told me as much before I had a baby. I try to think of little things like that that the mother may not think of to put on the registry but I always include a gift receipt and I always buy at least one item from the registry.

My baby shower was a month after we adopted our baby 52 years ago
No one knew we were “expecting”. No registry back then. But we started out with used clothes and just the basics - like cloth diapers new. Borrowed a bassinet. Lots of changes for safety since then.
People that actually care will at least do a combination. Some gifts off the registry and maybe a couple other things that they found helpful or tend to be forgotten.
Well I mean technically it’s like a little pre-birthday party for the baby that mum gets to enjoy 
Imagine going to someone’s birthday party & they were like YOU BOUGHT STUFF JOT ON MY REGISTRY, ISNT THE POINT OF A PARTY TO SAVE ME MONEY SO YOU ALL BUY ME THINGS I WANT NOT THAT YOUD THINK ID WANT?! Is all I just read 
I’m guessing this is bub number 1? T Trust me you aren’t gonna care much about what onesie who buys a year from now. If I went to a baby shower with a registry (don’t do it here in Aus) I probably wouldn’t even look at it because it’s such a foreign concept here and may also be unaffordable.

Wrong n so ungrateful. That’s disgusting mind set. Don’t have a baby shower than just buy so you get what you want. I didn’t get anything off my registry but I used everything I got people take the time to pick things out and pay with their money. Usually people who have a registry actually want all this exspensive crap that I think the parents should buy. A baby shower is just to shower u with helpful gifts. I hope ur baby don’t use anything you think baby will use with your mind set.

I feel like a baby shower is to Celebrate the baby and journey. If someone chooses to give you a gift, it’s a bonus. If its “not what you wanted” you can usually Google where it came from and return it for credit, garage sell it, or re-gift it. That’s what I did with basically everything we knew we wouldn’t use.

Be happy with what you got, take the gift with a happy heart and smile. I once bought a high chair for a shower the exact one I used for my son. Well my so called friend wanted one that cost three times more she picked on registry. When she opened it she made a stink face and complained that’s not the one she wanted. Well I took the gift back with me that same day. I was like shit if I didn’t buy that one for my own kid what made you think I would spend crazy money on some kid you dont even know who the father was? Now mind you she was all about the money. She had 4 different baby showers that four different guys family thru for her. Which were all Mexico and the baby came out Asian?? So be grateful for what is given. You can always return it if you get a recipient if not suck it up buttercup.
So so ungrateful
go and buy the things you need for your baby yourself. You have decided to start a family so you shouldn’t be expecting others to buy everything for you or maybe don’t have a baby shower. You should be greatful for the people and family who are there for your baby shower instead of worrying about what gifts you get

A baby shower is to celebrate a new baby not for other to buy things for YOUR child. Also you should be extremely greatful for anything given to you.
Honestly, I didn’t make a registry. I purchased my crib and mattress myself. My mom did buy me the glider I wanted and my MIL bought me a swing. I had 50 blankets, and I certainly didn’t need as many as I received, but I also appreciated what everyone gave me.
Even when I received things I didn’t necessarily love, I said thank you with the same enthusiasm I said for everything else.

Uh you don’t sound very nice at all, not everybody can go to your chosen store to purchase stuff to make YOU happy it’s not about YOU and your wants it’s what they can do to welcome the baby to make life a little easier for the two off you if you want a specific color or pattern exchange the damn thing to fit you decor, some people have to work and by the time they get to the register all that’s left is expensive stuff, you should be happy with whatever you get, you might not like it but it can come in very handy in the long run and you will be saying thank god I got this, so best not ask silly stuff like this some never get a baby shower and get used stuff and start of life sleeping on couch because the parent can’t afford a crib some countries the baby sleeps on the floor mat with everyone else.
You should be grateful for whatever gifts people buy for your baby. You sound like a spoiled brat. Not everyone can pay the prices that some moms to be pick for their registry.

It should be like that but babies stuff are expensive and you don’t know what people is struggling with and don’t have the money to buy what you want and usually the closest family is that buys what you need. When I had my baby shower I would ask for what I need but the cheapest one so you have more chances to get a gift then returned what I didn’t like and buy what I liked. But if you think that way you should’ve buy what you really wanted, people don’t have to give you what you want specially in these days.
Yes, you sound greedy. I wouldn’t care if someone came to my shower just to show they care about me and tell me congratulations and didn’t bring a gift 🤷

I gift what was a must have for me that I would otherwise not think of! I didn’t register for baby proofing stuff, I didn’t even think about it, but someone gifted me one anyway and guess what? I needed it! My sister gifted me a set of cloth diapers that I had no Intention of using but guess what? I tried them and love cloth diapering now! You know what I didn’t need?

You’re dead wrong! No one owes you anything and you should be grateful. You decided to have a baby so no one has to buy you anything. We’re hoping my daughter gets some things she wants off her registry but we’re prepared to buy it after the shower. We will be grateful that anyone loves her little family enough to bless them with coming to celebrate their baby girl!

You’re about to have a baby. Say thank you and be grateful for whatever you get. It’s kinda rude of you to expect anything specific. These people are buying gifts for you and your child and as much as new babies need you should be happy with whatever they choose to give you.
Ungrateful bitch is all I have in mind. This post is terrible.
The privilege is real with this one .
It’s okay to make the registry and ASK people to buy accordingly, but I think you come across as very ungrateful.
Baby shower, to me, is a celebration of the pregnancy and coming baby. Gifts should be optional, and you should always be grateful people wanted to get you something. The baby shower is not just to get the parents what they need.
Or how about be thankful for what you got nobody has to buy you anything and what if they bought what they could afford

… Are gifts really necessary? I was gonna put on mine that their presence is the present, whatever they want to bring is fine. Even if it’s a frozen meal or just themselves. What if they cant afford what’s on your registry or saw something cute they thought you or the baby would like? Be happy that you have people that are willing to celebrate this moment with you and be supportive. Some parents dont have that.

A baby shower is supposed to be a celebration of the new baby to come. The purpose is not supposed to be about money. Ultimately it’s your child. You are the one that should buy EVERYTHING for them. So whatever you get at the shower is just a bonus.

Wow. I loved all the gifts I got that were from my registry and the ones that were not from the registry. Some of the ones not from the registry were the best because they were a total surprise, like a friend made the most beautiful quilt that was firefighter themed for my baby who’s dad is a firefighter. Just be appreciative!! Some people don’t even get showers
You’re ungrateful based off the fact that you expect gifts in the first place. At the end of the day, people get what they can AFFORD. if your taste is outside of their budget, are they supposed to run themselves in debt because YOU have demands? it’s the thought that counts. If you’re specific on what you want, it’s your responsibility to make sure your kid gets it. I mean YOU laid down and made the baby. They didn’t.
Moving forward, do you expect those same people to pay for your kids sports and school supplies because it’s benefits the mother and father?! sit down and say thank you for what you get and BE GLAD you have a support system to buy anything at all. Some people don’t have that. Smh.
