Tupperware Shower - WWYD?

WGaches

One of my BM sells Tupperware. She called and told me she wants to throw me a Tupperware party. Here's how it works: I create a wish list, she sets up pictures of the items, does her little sales presentation, and then says "Now what would you like to buy for Sally Sue today?" I think it's incredibly tacky, and rude. I think she's using this as an opportunity to make money. However, she is my friend. I told her I didn't feel the need for another shower (that would make #4, it's getting a bit rediculous). I also told her I would only be inviting girlfriends our age. I don't want them to feel pressured to spend money, especially in person at a 'shower' in front of me. So, would you just bite your tongue and go along with the party for the sake of your friendship, or would you just tell her you think it's rude and won't do it?

You are absolutely right on all accounts. It's rude and tacky and you should decline decline decline. Thank you for saving your friends from having to go through this.

I agree with you that's tacky, but I don't think i would tell my friend that.  I would nicely decline the shower and explain that you've already had 3 showers and really don't need anything else, or any tupperware.  Just be sweet but firm and decline her offer.  Tell her maybe after the dust settles from the wedding, you'll book a tupperware party with her.

Say "No thank you."

I'd decline.  That's rude, as you pointed out in your OP.  Good call.

Ditto to all the responses.  Just politely say no you don't need another shower but it was sweet of her to think of you.  AND yes all of your friends will THANK YOU for not having this "put them on the spot and buy for me" shower.

I agree with pp's that it's tacky. You seem overwhelmed with the amount of showers you're already having, just politely decline and say "thanks.. but no thanks".
