[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]

I mentioned nothing about etiquette or a "gift grab". OPs friend has made her wishes clear, and her wishes are for NO celebration, gifts or not. 
Jesus, people are so damn entitled when it comes to other people's babies. Celebrate on your own if it's that important, but leave the anxious and possibly still grieving mother out of it. [/quote]
