Baby Invite

I recieved an invite to a baby shower that says how everyone has bought them so much and they have everything now but a few things and then goes onto say but if you must bring a gift then a donation would be appreciated. Is it me? or is it the done thing nowadays to EXPECT rather than be grateful for anything you may get for nothing? This is family, i don't know what to reply and even my best friend who has an answer for everything is speechless! For some reason i am angered!
She's my stepdaughter and even my husband (the new grandpa) shook his head in disgrace!

I would make a donation in their name to a charity and then send them a card telling them about their donation....

Some people.... Sheesh

MOET & CHANDON AND THE BABY! CORDIALLY INVITE YOU TO - LA NUIT DES GRANDES BOUTEILLES! - DATE 22ND OF JUNE - OPEN DOORS AT 23H - CLOSED EVENT ...

I work at a small company. One of my co-workers is expecting and her friend/co-worker is planning it while another co-worker is hosting. There are only 10 women at my company and all of them have been invited to the shower. I am friendly with most of these women, but the expectant mother is bossy and we've never had a friendly chat in the 2 years we've worked together. I'm 23 but all these other women are 30ish and unbelieveably excited about babies/baby showers . I was asked directly by the woman planning the shower in front of my other co-workers which weekend day i was free in the upcomming months. I was so surprised by the confrontation and assumption that i was attending, i told her that saturdays are fine. There are no paper invitations, just blanket emails with shower details (gift registry) so i haven't actually been "asked" if i'm comming. Also, i'm afraid if i decline by saying i'm not free (it's a month away) they'll ask for a better time and then run it by everyone.

Well, it's your choice, to accept, and hope that will make things better with the bossy one, or say no, thanks.
If it were me, I would wait a bit, say I can't be there, something has come up, and no, you do not have to make an excuse. And send a small but cute gift with someone.
It isn't nice to ambush someone into doing anything, it's rude. But I'm sure that wasn't their intent, probably they were trying hard not to exclude anyone. Or maybe just trying to keep things informal. With only ten women around, hard feelings would be tough to deal with.
It might go better if after you say no, you would show a little interest. Say, I'm so sorry I couldn't, where is she doing her shopping? Or, what is the nursery theme? But you do not have to, you can get whatever present you want.
Hope this helps.

Baby Invitations

I've been invited to the baby shower of a "semi-friend." (don't know her well enough to call her a friend, but she's really nice and is one of my clients) Babies/children aren't my thing, and neither are these kinds of get togethers-- I just don't do weddings, baby showers, etc. How do I decline the invite without being rude?

Just say, "Thanks but I've got something else on that day".
