| I think this is very tacky. The point of a baby shower is for the mom to get many of the things she needs for the new baby. Thats why stores have registry's...so that the mom gets what she wants for her new baby. If this mom doesn't need anything new for the baby and just wants money to set up an account then she doesn't need a baby shower. I would be really offended if I got an invitation that said cash or monetary gifts only! |

| Unfortunately, I think a baby shower isn't the right venue to suggest a "money only" gift. Weddings are a different matter, but you're choosing to celebrate the birth of a baby with a baby shower and people are coming to help you celebrate so unfortunately it's not up to you what they choose to bring. Rather than money, if there is something big you would like suggest that a group of friends pitch in to buy it, if they are stuck for something to bring. I agree with a lot of the others, in this case, you would be considered rude to ask for money. Family might help out, but asking friends is a bit much. |

| instead why not make a registry, or just return stuff you get most places will give you store credit. |
