THIS EMAIL APPARENTLY sent by parents of a baby boy before his first birthday is going viral because it’s simply bonkers.

The baby’s parents clearly state to guests what he wants for his birthday–it had to be approved, apparently.

It was posted to Reddit in pure disbelief.

The little tot’s parents list an IKEA play tunnel and a tent among the approved items, and request that no books or personalised gifts be given. Any gifts given that are not on the approved list MUST have the receipt attached.

HOW IS THIS OK?

Please, keep the formal invitation.
