I actually entertained the idea of going to one. Silly me. It was for my husband's cousin, who is this newly reformed woman whom has sworn off her party ways. *cough* Bullshit *cough*. The girl was 7 weeks pregnant and still hanging out in bars. Tacky.
Anyways, she made this massive registry at like 3 different baby shops..claiming on the (her and her fiancé) invitations they would prefer if attendees shopped at Babies R Us first. You don't tell people that are buying you gifts, where you would like them to shop. Then she also specified that she didn't want anyone to wrap the presents. Strange.
My MIL, who attended, said as she walked thru the threshold with baby gift, she was told to hold up her gift for a photo. After her picture was taken, she was to be escorted on as the next attendee needed to have their photo snapped. Where is this going, you say?
It turns out the pregnant cousin in all her selfish glory, wanted the photos snapped, so she knew who bought what and them unwrapped, so they wouldn't see her look of disappointment if she didn't like it. Love, you couldn't fake it? And if you didn't particularly care for it, then it's nothing to return it to the baby store for store credit!!! Needless to say, I'm glad I didn't waste time or energy attending that horrible, tasteless event.
