The DJ has the party going, then passes the mic to the expectant father Earl Walker, who starts off saying “I definitely have to give a shout to everybody who played a role in this…” he begins right before he was interrupted by Tia Ewing, the expecting mom and a journalist.
And Ewing sparred no feelings concerning the etiquette of some of party’s attendees:
“NOT EVERYBODY CAUSE’ SOME PEOPLE CAME AND DIDN’T EVEN BRING A GIFT,” EWING SAYS DONNED IN A PINK GOWN.
“At my wedding, a lot of people came but they didn’t bring a gift,” she continued. “So, if you came to the baby shower and didn’t bring a gift you can leave.”
The room burst out in laughter while the camera panned the faces and expressions of guests. Another woman by the name of Pam chimed in on the mic, attempting to ensure everyone that Ewing “didn’t mean that” and blamed it on the “baby hormones.”
The camera continued to pan the room for guilty-looking parties until it focused on one woman twiddling her thumbs.
“I said what I said,” Ewing repeated. The silence in the room thickened. Walker awkwardly handed the DJ the mic and the DJ reinforced Ewing’s demands.
“YEAH, MAN, YA’LL HEARD WHAT SHE SAID,” THE DJ ANNOUNCED.
“Ya’ll need to go on ahead and get to the nearest exit.” He hit play on his set and the music began.
Ewing’s demand, uploaded to The Walkers Loading Instagram and Early & Tia YouTube channel, received mixed responses.
“You not wrong the purpose is to shower the baby with gifts, the food and drinks are a token of appreciation for doing so. If you don’t plan on showering the baby with a gift then don’t waste the parents money,” one user wrote via Instagram.
“I don’t think she was wrong, some people attends [sic] events just to eat and to be nosey,” another wrote via YouTube.
Other comments described Tia’s demands as “tacky,” arguing that she could lose friends for focusing so much on gifts.
“It’s tacky. Should’ve stated that in your invite. I get it, [people] should bring a gift, that’s low key the point of it BUT if you gonna make it a requirement, state that beforehand,” a user wrote via Instagram.
“Gifts are not everything! Don’t be. Don’t be pressed over who had a gift and who did not but, she is going to lose a lot of friends when it’s time to have the babies first birthday, no one will be there because she is chasing them all away. A gift should not ruin a relationship,” someone else chimed in.
It’s good etiquette to bring a gift to a wedding or a baby shower. Even cash in an envelope and a card. However not everyone is aware of etiquette rules. Neither does everyone have the same heart.
Obviously gifts are Tia’s love language. She’s not wrong for stating how she feels.
Way too many people tell women to repress how she truly feels, instead of encouraging her to be herself and allowing people to deal with the incoming information and decide if they want to be around her or not.
This footage also sent her brand viral.
Personally, I wouldn’t do such a thing. But I also wouldn’t expect anyone to react like me.
