My sister in law just adopted a baby and is having a shower tonight. My other sister-in-laws and I went in on buying the stroller that she wanted. I picked up the stroller from the store and brought it home. There was no real way to wrap the stroller, so I decided to help her out by assembling the stroller for her. I thought when I get to the shower early, I would bring in the stroller, set it up by the gift table, and tie some balloons to it. We also bought a stroller toy, that I put in a gift bag with the card, that I plan on sitting in the stroller. I put all of the paperwork for the stroller, and the gift receipt in the bottom basket of the stroller. Now, I am rethinking doing this and don't want her to be offended. Her and I are very close, like real sisters, and at my baby shower, they assembled my stroller and I wasn't offended. So my question is, do you think this is tacky that I did this? I still have the box (and will let her know) in case she wants to return the stroller, and will be enclosing the gift receipt. I know it seems like a stupid worry, I just don't want to be tacky about it. Thank you.

I would LOVE anyone who did something like that for me. When you're busy getting ready for a baby, it's hell to have to put a bunch of stuff together. As long as you're giving her the receipt and everything, I don't see a problem. You could even offer to dis-assemble it in case she wants to return it, but I doubt if she would want to. I think it is a very thoughtful gesture! Anybody can go to the store, but to take the time to do something like this shows how much you care.
