[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How about a low key/modest luncheon at a restaurant- invitation should be noldedto say "No gifts please".

I assume the friends and family who would attend said luncheon are close enough to know about the loss.[/quote]

Ahh, yes. Just what everyone who has specifically declined a celebration wants.  A PUBLIC celebration! 
I don't quite get why this is so hard for people, OP asked, her friend answered. She doesn't want a shower or a sprinkle or a brunch without gifts. 
Sorry if that means people don't get to show how "over the moon" they are but, newsflash, this baby isn't about them![/quote]

The difference is you are celebrating a life, a baby, a happy time no matter if it is baby #1, #2, #3, +.

It is obvious it isnt a gift grab since the invite specifies "no gifts".[/quote]

NO.  It isn’t always a happy time.  It’s nerve-wracking and stressful.  Please don’t be tone deaf like this PP.  She doesn’t want anything.  Send her some gifts and a heartfelt note and leave it at that.  She does not want a public celebration.  [/quote]
