It’s really bad form to have a party and expect your guests to pay, look at your budget and plan accordingly

If a baby shower is in a restaurant then everyone usually chips in but if it’s at the house then the guests shouldn’t have to pay

I’m paying for my baby shower venue. Would never ask the guests to pay for something they have been invited too!! I have sent out a list of bits I haven’t bought yet but said they don’t need to follow the list and I’m grateful for anything. List has a variation of price points!! It’s crazy that people decide to have a baby and expect everyone else to pay for shit!! You don’t pay to go to a wedding!!

I think the point of a baby shower is to contribute to the expecting parent’s new baby, help get them started etc hence the name “shower” but I don’t agree with charging per head that’s a bit much tbh - expecting to pay for food and gifts is a bit far and wouldn’t expect someone to do that for me

If your mate had a birthday night out at a bar or restaurant, would you expect them to pay for your food and drinks? Obv if the babyshower is at home then you provide everything, but if you are at a restaurant it’s reasonable for people to pay for themselves. Present lists are standard for babies, although there should be cheaper options available. Having a baby is a special event and could potentially be a one off event, so a close friend should want to celebrate that, even if it’s not to their personal taste. If they can’t afford it, then fair enough.

Noooo way! I'm having a baby and can't think of anything more just... NO SIR, than rallying the troops to shower me with gifts... let alone PAY ME! It's on me to pay for our baby and I feel the same about other people's baby showers 😆

Nope! Gifting should be optional lol don’t get me wrong I would always get a gift and if there’s a registry even better but that’s absolutely insane

There’s been a gift list for almost every baby shower I’ve been to. Some Baby showers ive been expected to pay for food and some have been paid for - I’ve always celebrated everyone else’s babies and their weddings etc. in future even though I’d never *expect* gifts it would be strange not to return the celebration by at least attending? I’d be quite hurt if someone lied not to attend my baby shower, their presence should always be enough?

I did my baby shower in a restaurant, I rented a private room and provided a buffet for all, drinks everyone had to buy for themselves. I think if you’re inviting people to your party and I’m not talking about a sit down meal at a restaurant then you should pay for the party and the food.

Never had one, never went to one, never would! It’s bloody ridiculous! When I meet the baby I’ll give a present then and not before. And fucking can’t stand gender reveals!! 🤮

I really don’t agree with babyshowers, can’t help but see it as begging and I won’t be having one. If someone would like to give me a gift absolutely fine but it’s the pressure a baby shower brings plus the cringey games

I saw someone say bring wipes if you think it’s a girl or nappy for boy and I think that’s such a good idea , if you have 30 people come you basically don’t have to buy either of those things for the first months

It is non essential, so don’t go if you don’t want to but don’t try to dictate what other people want to organise. The gift list thing is weird though but nothing to stop a few of you from chipping in to one gift.
