A mom-to-be had “different” plans regarding the celebration of her baby entering the world. This plan did not seem appropriate to one of her friends and we can’t complain! You can judge the weirdness when you know what she actually did. Her friend shared the story on Reddit.

This Reddit user got an invitation from her friend to attend her baby shower. Although she was not quite stable financially, she agreed to be there. Despite knowing that she will have to spend some money on the gifts, she acknowledged the invite. She wanted to attend the celebration and so, she even agreed on getting a leave from her work. Unfortunately, all this was not enough as her friend texted her to tell her the change of “plans”!

She wrote in her post, “About a week before the baby shower I get a text from her saying this party would actually be a gender reveal party and they were having a separate baby shower three-weeks later that she wanted me to come to as well.”

This irritated the woman as she had to prepare for two events now that meant double the expenditure. She responded to this text and said that she could not promise anything but will try her best to be there as she had to take another off from work.

If you think the story ends here, then you are so wrong! The actual annoying thing is yet to come. A text arrived and it infuriated this woman. She wrote, “Two days before the now ‘gender reveal’ party she texts me in a group message of people and says there’s an entry fee of $20 to the party!”

All this made no sense to her and just got furious about the situation. She texted her that she is not willing to shell out $20 on the entry fees. She cannot afford this. The mom-to-be replied saying that she won’t exclude her from the guest list and will have to pay the amount. She hoped that her friend would keep the promise of showing up at the celebration.

This frustrated woman did not respond and did not attend the gender reveal party. She added the details in her Reddit post and wrote, “She texted me a few days later informing me I was disinvited to the future baby shower and how she was appalled I couldn’t even send a message to let her know I wasn’t coming after I said I would be there.”

However, this Reddit user got a little puzzled about her decision of ditching the plan of going to the party and wondered if she took the right step. People were quick to present their thoughts on this. One wrote, “You can’t afford what you can’t afford,” one person commented. “And yeah, an entry fee for that sort of party sounds super insane to me. Who does that?”

She did feel slightly guilty and added to her original post, “I found out today through a mutual friend that only 11 people showed up out of 30 + she invited.”

The idea of entry fees is just bizarre and we would be baffled too if someone comes to us with this kind of invite!
