Let me get this straight. You don't know the bride and groom. You're not invited to the wedding. But you are "invited" to attend a shower that the groom's mother is "hosting", for which you must provide the food and a gift?
HAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
I'm sorry, but that gave me a huge laugh. Seriously, she sounds like a greedy gift pig. Rude and tacky! I would send my regrets and never even give it a second thought.
If you aren't invited to the wedding, then there is no need to buy a gift or attend the shower either. So don't worry about it. Save your money and time, and don't bother with a gift.
I also would not go and infact encourage the others in the same situation to decline as well. That is unbelievably rude and greedy. I would be insulted too.
