Received an invite to a baby shower. Inside they wrote to not wrap the gift, just use the sack and use the money you would of used for gift wrap to purchase another gift like diapers, wipes, etc (which cost more then a roll of paper/gift bag and a bow for $1 each at the dollar store).

I haven't gone to a baby shower for years and never heard of asking this, is this something new? I think it's tacky and going a little over the top. I can maybe see telling them if they would like to they could, but the way it's worded it's telling you have to use a plastic sack and purchase another gift. Some people (like me), already have a stash of gift bags/wrap and wouldn't be purchasing any. Now the invitation says I have to purchase another small gift and toss the stuff in a plastic grocery bag.
