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.

I think mothers or sisters should provide a cake and coffee or soft drinks. Nothing else is needed.

@Starshine: For real. This event is scheduled between typical meal times, which is what I don't get.

@DiamondPrincess89: I am used to just taking a gift to showers unless I am in on the planning.
