how do you tell people

[Lilseamonkey]

That you don't want certain character baby items. For instance I'm terrified of Mickey mouse. Irrational but true. I don't want any clothes it bibs or anything with that darn mouse on there. How do I tell people for my baby shower? Do I leave a little side note on the invitation. (no Mickey sh!t!) Haha

[Lilseamonkey]

How cute! :)

[Ashdub07]

My last daughter we did pink camo :)

[Lilseamonkey]

Oooh ash that would be cool, I hope you have a boy so you can do that! :D

[Ashdub07]

I don't want any character. I hate all the baby theme stuff I hate dora, I hate the mouse, the cat, I hate it all. I want John Deere and camo

[mizy_g]

She's everywhere lol!

[Lilseamonkey]

Oh God mizy I hate her too! I  need to get a list going of crap I hate and don't want on my baby. I mean I'm gonna be fearful for anything  and if I get it ill exchange it but that's a pain -.- so, no clowns, Mickey, or hello ugly cat. What else ladies? Keep em coming lol what character or animal do you NOT want as a baby gift

[mizy_g]

I should have done that with my invitation i hope no one gets my baby hello kitty stuff i hate that cat! Lol i don't want my baby wearing it. maybe ill put it the reminder hope no one has bough anything lol.

I'm having the same problem except mine is I don't qant any monkey stuff whatsoever -.- ,so I think ima put it in my invites

[carlirenaem]

I don't like any Disney stuff haha I would probably just exchange it or put it in the baby shower invites :)

[Lilseamonkey]

Well I want lion king themed nursery items. So I guess lion king invited and a note that says nothing Mickey..... Or clowns thank you kdq that never even crossed my mind. I hate them too :(

[tabbykatt92]

just tell em. my mil talked about buying sports stuff for my son, but I'm not a sports person and won't push my son into them unless he wants to do them himself. so i just said no. I don't want any of it. won't buy it either.

Whenever people asked me if I needed anything or what I wanted I straight up said no winnie the pooh. My MIL asked if she could give me one winnie the pooh item, and it was a onesie hubby himself used to wear, so I made an exception for that. I told her she could keep all the other WTP clothes for baby to wear when he visits them, and she accepted that as a good compromise.

You could exchange it but it will be a lotbeasier on you if you just let people know on the invites. I don't blame you- I am terrified of clowns and I hope no one gives me anything clown related. I'll loose it!

[ansett01]

I would just say the theme of your shower on the invite like Mommy's Monkey and people will generally buy for the theme. It's a nicer way to put things.

[Lilseamonkey]

I just feel a little bad like I'm being demanding. all that stuff would go to waste though :/ I guess I could exchange it for same product different look?

[GordonBaby]

Absolutely not wrong for letting people know in the invites.

[juniorsmommyx3]

Lol I would like you said just write a little side note.
