Is it tacky to tell guests to bring food/refreshments to a baby shower? Normally, guests bring gifts.

P.S.: I'm not the hostess, nor am I close to the mother-to-be. Just wondering because, every culture is different. Do the same etiquette rules still apply? Currently find myself in this scenario.

Ummm yes it is. If I have to bring food and gifts what exactly am I going to this event for? What is this person doing? Isn't it their event? Shouldn't they take care of the food aspect of it? Yes I'd think so.

@Angelwithbrokenwingxo: Exactly. I share your sentiment, too.
