[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Great idea OP. I may steal it for my unusual situation. I had a shower for my last baby but tragedy struck and the baby died and so we got the gifts but without a use. We held on to most everything, hoping to have another baby soon. Soon turned into not so soon, but 2+ years later here we are. The last shower I had was for me (my partner was there but it was a relatively new relationship) and this time I want my partner to not miss out on a celebration of our baby. Not about gifts though, so we were going to have something and say no gifts. Because we got them before and, while we'll have a different guest list, we just don't want to make it about gifts at all. BUT we would love hand-me-downs and have several friends who have had babies recently and are already storing things up for us. Is it bad to say no no no gifts (without getting into the sad reason why; not sure how to acknowledge those who gave gifts last time that we are so grateful to use this time) but hey if you have hand-me-downs bring them! Also how would we frame this non-shower party?

Okay I just derailed your thread. Sorry. But great idea. Thanks for sharing it. [/quote]

I think you could say something along the lines of we have everything we need, so your presence will be our present, or something along those lines.

You could also do a book shower with something like: if so inclined feel free bring a favorite childhood classic to build a library for our baby that will be truly fantastic![/quote]
