Yes, Very Dramatic
We’re not exactly sure what to feel about this. On the one hand, going to a baby shower empty-handed is uncommon. On the other hand, the host shouldn’t expect presents from their guests. Baby showers aren’t about “showering the baby with gifts.” It’s more about inviting friends and family to meet your newborn.
You can register for gifts at a baby store, which is completely fine and fair. However, denying food to people who don’t bring you gifts and handing out identifiable bracelets to those that do is pretty weird. We know, throwing a baby shower is hectic, but you’re going overboard here, lady.
