They don't want to look like they're begging for diapersAimee, in a year from now when she's gone from ultra-expensive name brand to generic store brand, she'll be kicking herself for not doing it.
Gunn: The final score can't be rigged. I don't care how many players you grease, that last shot always comes up a question mark. But here's the thing. You never know when you're taking it. It could be when you're duking it out with the Legion of Doom, or just crossing the street deciding where to have brunch. So you just treat it like it was up to you—the world in balance—'cause you never know when it is.

Because books.
If they don't want that particular game at the shower, that's fine. B didn't like the idea in the first place and I was surprised she said to do it later.
Aims, I posted a possible baby shower *game* in your LJ entry about the shower, but I now doubt they'd like it.
Personally, I would have creamed my pants if I got multiple packages of free diapers.
Edited because I like my vulgar metaphors to be grammatically correct.

I doubt this will happen. I suspect she'll always be a name brand buyer. We buy mostly the same brand but we buy in bulk from the big warehouse store.

Dang, Nora, too bad Tom won't be there over the weekend, I was hoping to snag two Buffista DHs at once!
Brenda, since Matt's going to be hanging around longer (over an actual weekend), you want to get together in Milwaukee to schmooze?

This. As much as I love B, she equates $ with quality.

Yes! Beth, do we have dates for Matt? (Um, calendar dates - I'm not trying to hook your husband up or anything.)

As much as I am a total snob about many things (and I am), I will never get the people for whom most expensive automatically = best.

I'm like Marge Simpson at the moment. I can't afford to shop anywhere that has a philosophy.

They are also very much about appearances. Again, so am I a lot of the time, but they like to impress people with what they can afford rather than with how funny, sexy, smart, and pretty they are like I do.
