Baby shower - tacky?

<p>Maybe she doesn’t want to impose on anyone. Why does it make a difference? It is a gathering of family and friends and people who care about her. I think anything goes these days. Why judge her. Just support her and offer to bring some food or decorations.</p>

<p>Why does everyone jump to the conclusion that her goal is to solicit gifts for herself. In essence all showers are a chance for people to gather and celebrate and bring gifts. Why does it matter that it will be at her home. Along the lines of this thinking, is it okay for the shower to be thrown by another to solicit gifts. Whether the shower is at her home or someone else’s, people will bring gifts.</p>
