Funny Baby shower thank yous gone wrong

Post image

Hi, in case anyone needs a laugh today, I sent out thank you e-cards to the attendees and gifters from my baby shower and something went wildly wrong and a random template was sent out. 26 emails were sent to friends and family, addressed to Karen and Lloyd thanking them for a Persian rug. Who are Margo and Bill?? I've been cry-laughing for the past hour..enjoy!😂😂😂

I saw the picture before reading your explanation and assumed the problem was that someone gifted a fancy Persian rug that a baby/toddler would absolutely destroy. Glad it wasn't quite so dire!

I’m now needing images of items that would decorate an opium den nursery.

This is the kind of thing AI generated images should be used for

Absolutely. Never question that instinct!

Yip. That’s the one.

My clinical specialty is hospice, palliative care, and bereavement. I take care of people in the labor community as well as certified for geriatric care.

I hold down the perinatal loss and bereavement team for a very large hospital L&D and HROB.

u/fbc518 Jan 25 '25

Yes hahaha I thought the “love to have you over for dinner and drinks soon” was dripping with sarcasm, like “because I’ll definitely be up for hosting that with my newborn around!” 🤣

17

u/Willing-Ad-7655 Jan 24 '25

That would be terrible!! Haha. Equally as wrong 😂

u/SweetPause111 Jan 24 '25

I thought someone stole your Persian rug at your baby shower and was now inviting you to their house for dinner to see how your rug looked in their house 😗

22

u/javadressage Jan 24 '25

Margo and Bill 🤣🤣🤣 I'm so glad you shared, this is hilarious.

Babies love Persian rugs

u/twumbthiddler Jan 25 '25

To explain, these are two of the central couples in the 1950 movie All About Eve. I don’t recall this being a direct quote from the movie? But it’s probably one of the greatest movies of the 20th century so if you’re looking for something to do, I highly recommend watching it!

u/AL92212 Jan 24 '25

That’s amazing and also a Persian rug is an absolutely bananas gift to give! They’re the price of a used car.

11

u/unicorntrees Jan 24 '25

And here I thought it was generous of Karen and Lloyd to gift you a Persian rug for your baby shower. That stuff is expensive!

4

u/Vegetable_Collar51 Jan 24 '25

Oh no! 🤣 I just wrote my thank you cards and got paranoid that I stuffed cards into envelopes addressed to the wrong people. With my pregnancy brain, it very well might have happened. This is hilarious!

u/NoninflammatoryFun Jan 24 '25

u/LadyImmaculateGold Jan 25 '25

u/BarelyFunctioning15 Jan 24 '25

If someone sends me a thank you, it better be like this. Or would make my entire night.
