So weird and awkward For baby showers, bridal showers, etc. and it's same person asking for addresses. If I give you my address once because I want to come, at least keep it and just send me an invite the next time you throw something if you want me there! They also put up a status saying " send me your address so I can send out wedding invitations" and tagged the people they wanted to come. Wtf??

As soon as she announced she was expecting another baby I planned to get her a good gift wether there was a shower or not. If she/they want me/him/us there they can reach out in a more personal way. owlmom on "Come One, Come All, Just Come!" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/come-one-come-all-just-come#post-1094806 Wed, 18 Sep 2013 12:09:56 +0000 owlmom 1094806@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I'd ignore it too. Since your husbands are best friends, I'd be surprised if she doesn't already have your address - if she wants to invite you properly, she can.

I think that is a really crass way to organize a shower guest list and she shouldn't expect anyone to be okay with being 'invited' that way.

If she really wanted me there, she'd invite me personally. Not a fan.

I don't like when people do stuff like that! What if some freak was like "oh i wanna come!!!" what do you do then?! PS I'm sure she wants you there!

Like, oh bummer missed your FB post... (Can you tell I am not really a shower lover?) Mrs. Taco on "Come One, Come All, Just Come!" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/come-one-come-all-just-come#post-1094685 Wed, 18 Sep 2013 11:23:16 +0000 Mrs. Taco 1094685@https://boards.hellobee.com/ That is really weird and as PP mentioned the dreaded 't-word'. Wonder what her plan of action is if some random FB friend that she hasn't talked to since middle school responds. Awkkkkward! loveisstrange on "Come One, Come All, Just Come!" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/come-one-come-all-just-come#post-1094665 Wed, 18 Sep 2013 11:13:04 +0000 loveisstrange 1094665@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Thats weird and kind of "t-word" to me. I had a friend who posted her registry on her FB. *eye roll* swurlygurl on "Come One, Come All, Just Come!" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/come-one-come-all-just-come#post-1094661 Wed, 18 Sep 2013 11:12:14 +0000 swurlygurl 1094661@https://boards.hellobee.com/ That's weird, and kind of awkward! You're essentially inviting yourself to her shower. I guess that's what they want though, so might as well jump on in!

Who does that???

I'm sure they are not all local to her, or the shower city. I don't think long distance would be a dealbreaker. I wonder how many other of her friends are just as confused. Lol LuLu Mom on "Come One, Come All, Just Come!" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/come-one-come-all-just-come#post-1094556 Wed, 18 Sep 2013 10:22:57 +0000 LuLu Mom 1094556@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Hmmm...yes I would be a little weirded out by this too not knowing if *she* wanted me to attend. She should have sent out a private message to everyone for addresses! Weird, does she not have a ton of friends on FB?

Say something like, we would love to support you and the new baby if there is room for us to join in on the festivities.

If you *really* want me there, send a dang invite! Even just a FB message! It's annoying! I never end up going to those things because who knows if they actually want me there! Mrs. Lemon-Lime on "Come One, Come All, Just Come!" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/come-one-come-all-just-come#post-1094544 Wed, 18 Sep 2013 10:19:20 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 1094544@https://boards.hellobee.com/ A FB friend just posted: xx is throwing me a shower, if you can come, send me your address" I understand the mama-to be helps with the guest list, but this blanket FB invite sort of seems off. I'm hesitant to raise my hand for fear if I inbox her my info she will roll her eyes *great Lemon wants to come" Our husbands are best friends.
