It can be tacky asking for baby gift cards if you are having a baby shower or celebrating the birth of a newborn. However, it doesn’t have to be. It will all depend on how you request them.
If you ring up the guests and demand money or vouchers or don’t bother attending the party that is tacky and outright rude.
Instead, send a beautiful invite worded nicely stating that gifts aren’t required however if you would like to contribute money or gift cards this would come across better.
This way you are saying in a nice friendly manner to please bring vouchers instead of gifts.
We suggest that before you decide if you want to ask for vouchers you read about the pros and cons. And if you still wish to request vouchers read our article on how to ask for gift cards.
So in short, asking for baby gift vouchers isn’t tacky if you do it in a thoughtful and non-demanding way.
