Wedding etiquette

[DrPhil]

I don't understand why this would make sense to them and why anyone else would go along with it. Eight bridesmaids?

I assume they just need money. I agree with you that, if they need money, they should give an idea of what they are raising money for. Afterall, they got married a couple of years ago so most people probably won't be eager to give money and gift cards NOW.

Vandal pretty much covered it all. Money is never proper and 8 months pregnant? Really?

This is likely a "we need baby money" grab, disguised as "not a money grab." lol.

That isn't a baby, that's a toddler!

You also have to wonder if people gave privately for the wedding and the baby, or if there was a baby shower, so this is redundant and greedy.

I like ae_phi alum's idea of the etiquette book. I think a good gift to acknowledge the tackiness but avoid making waves would be a giftcard to a children's store.
