Buy Baby Gifts
Baby gifts, do I need to buy gifts for….?
I just had a baby shower thrown by my mother-in-law. Since she was planning the shower, she invited a lot of her friends, including some friends that brought their adult daughters. I don’t know these women very well but they are very close with my mother in law. Some of them I met for the first time at the shower. One of her friend’s daughters is pregnant also and she bought a very nice gift off of my registry for the shower. Am I now obligated to buy her a baby gift when her baby arrives? I had not met her until the shower, I feel grateful that she bought a nice gift for us but at the same time I have a hard time being able to afford a baby gift for her as well. Does anyone know the “rules” for situations like this?
Looking at the answers, I realize that I am mostly concerned that I wouldn’t be able to reciprocate a gift of the same $ value, it sounds like it is still acceptable to send a gift even if it is not in the same price range?
A thank you note will be suffice unless however you are invited to her baby shower, then a gift would of course be expected.
If you do attend her baby shower you should buy her a gift off of her registry as that is what she did for you. It would not be inappropriate if your gift was of lesser value.
If you still really feel you would like to get her something maybe you could go in on a gift with your mother-in-law to be from both of you.
