Can I request "Please No clothes" for my kid shower or is that Rude?
I already have so many baby clothes that are piling up everywhere.
I know that everyone requests to buy cute clothes but I already have enough.
My shower is in September..So I be wondering is is rude to put "No baby clothes please". As much as I appreciate the gesture, there are things that I could really really use for the kid that don't cost much.
I would hate to get tons of baby clothes and not know how to use them before she out grows them.
I would rather them spend there money on something and know that our newborn is going to use it then spend money on clothes and it ends up never being worn.
Honestly I find that tacky. Just like I find it tacky when somebody sends a birthday invitation beside the kids size and where to buy the clothes.
No it's not rude at adjectives. If you don't need them, people are going to understand, especially if they're friends. It's NOT rude at adjectives. If people aren't mature enough to twig that, then they don't need to be coming to your baby shower.
Some relatives might miss that little note, so be expecting a few clothes anyway. Don't say anything about the unwanted clothes, as I'm sure they'd be a bit embarrassed. As long as you state it nicely in the invitations, it isn't rude AT ALL. Source(s): I freshly went to a baby shower a couple of months ago where they requested no clothes. Everyone be completely fine with it.
i would. alot of people like to buy clothes anyways because its cheap and easy and after you get all these clothes they never even wear. people would to some extent get you useful things and not spend their money on things you wont use so i would definatly say that.
It's not really rude, but another way you can do it so you are not rude is take the clothes back to the store they be bought from. Even with out a receipt you can take them stern they give you a store gift card and then you can procure the stuff you need. FYI I have four boys and sometimes you never have ample clothes.
Answers: Yes it's rude. People don't HAVE to buy you a gift at adjectives so if they are doing so you accept graciously. Most will include gift receipts. Even if they do not greatly of stores offer store credit on items that are returned with tags attached.
People love to buy clothes and since it is a payment I think it would be a little rude. Don't take anything out of the packages and exchange/return. I received tons of cloths and be able to exchange half of it for all of the not so fun stuff population did not want to buy.
if people ask you or the host what to get you, afterwards you could say something...you could say you need stuff contained by bigger sizes or whatever. but I don't think you should include that in the invite -- it's solely appropriate to include registry information. I registered for NO clothes and still got a ton of them and my son never wore half of them but I think every mother deal with the same thing. if you don't gain a chance to use them all, save them for the subsequent baby or donate them. your givers will be none the wiser. you'll get everything you need for the babe too, people are generally pretty thoughtful when it comes to helping mothers out -- and baby clothes are cheap, so they'll usually only throw that in as an 'extra' on top of another gift.
I already have a ton of clothes before my shower, but I got TONS more at my shower, so I took most of them back, and bought what I still needed next to the money from those returns.
I would think it would be rude to include that on the invitation. But make sure you do not register for clothes. Some ancestors only get things that are on the registry others do not. But if you don't register for any clothes then possible you will get less clothes than the average shower.
However, let the host know how you grain. Many times guests will ask the host what would be a good gift. And it isn't rude at all for the host to try to steer society away from buying clothes.
It's your baby shower, do what you want. It's not rude as long as it's stated in a judicious manner.
I totally can get the message where you are coming from...but you don't want to come across as rude. So, here's my advice. Tell your mother, mother-in-law, etc - the people who are putting on your shower that you hold tons of clothes already. SO...if people ask them, they can make mention that you have lots of clothes and they are surplus, and then they can make a suggestion to the items on your registry. I just don't reckon it would be appropriate to come right out and say it. However, if you're creative with your words, then can be too - and hopefully citizens will just lean towards getting you something else. And often times people include the grant receipt with the clothing item. So, if that's the case, next just take it upon yourself to make the return and return with something else, or clothes in a larger size for future use. I know that my son didn't wear a lot of the clothes given at our shower (since individuals bought newborn and he was almost 10 lbs!) but that is just the route it is.
Good luck. There are ways to get around some of it, but not all.
I imagine it is kinda rude. People love to buy clothes and might be insulted if you put no clothes on there. They might think it has something to do next to your tastes and that you think they couldn't select something cute for your baby. What I would do is gross a registry that has NO or very few clothes on it and lots of the stuff you do need. And consequently just hope the clothes come with gift reciepts or you can exchange them for supplies at the store. But I wouldn't suggest no clothes. I am surrounded by a similar situation, we have tons of clothes for our son who is coming in Nov. My shower is the first week of October and I just hope inhabitants look at the registry. Otherwise, I might have to change him ten times a day!
I have a friend who has done this twice- she's had three girls and after the first one, didn't inevitability any more clothes. So she called it a diaper shower- and she just explained on an insert in her invitations that she be set on clothing but any other kids of gift, diapering stuff especially, would be very helpful. :)
