Incidentally, one of my cousins had a Pampered Chef party disguised as a bridal shower. We show up, and there's a "demonstrator" there showing us all these products. Then they pass around a list of the things my cousin has decided she wants, and we were supposed to put cash in an envelope so she could pay for all of it. Then we got a lecture about how we should also buy things for ourselves, since my cousin would get bonus gifts as well. That's just tacky, in my opinion. It's one thing to invite people to a Mary Kay/Tupperware/Pampered Chef party (at least they know what they're getting into), but it's another thing entirely to invite someone to a bridal shower and then expect them to just fork over cash. From what I understand, that kind of "party" is becoming more common for lots of MLMs.

Holy crap that is THE tackiest thing I have ever heard of. I think I would have overturned a bowl o' dip or two over that one.
I don't mind going to one of these type parties once in a blue moon. I go knowing I'm going to buy one or two token things, and no one is going to pressure me into buying more or having a party. If you can't do that, or you can't afford to buy anything at all, just don't go.
