I think it doesn't matter what others think. Just do what you think is ok. People you are inviting know you and will know exactly what you mean. Everyone has different morals and/or interpretations of them.
They open their mouth...and stupid falls out

(Sorry I am highjacking your thread dear, but I am mad at this person and her remark about you) WHY does everyone have to be so rude!!
This thread was posted to ask for opinions and that's what was given. No one was rude until you "got mad" at the first person who had a differing opinion. If you don't like a post then I suggest you report it to the moderators and let us deal with it. There's no need to disrupt a peaceful thread the way you did here.

Wow. Where is all this animosity coming from?..lol Sweetie, have your party and have a blast! I wouldn't put "No gifts please" either! They (your friends and family) will know if you need something and if you get gifts...awesome! 
Be who you are and say what you feel, those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind.

Sometimes it is hard to let go of a memory, especially if you remind yourself of it everyday.

I don't see anything wrong with it either .. have a party and have fun.
As for "showers" the rule of thumb is that you are "entitled" a shower every 5 years, being styles changes and things wear out.
I say do what you want .. like mentioned before, your friends know you better than anyone else and know the intentions of your party.
They say it takes a minute to find a special person, an hour to appreciate them, a day to love them, but then an entire life to forget them. Distance and time may separate us but friendship and memories won't.
~When someone you love becomes a memory, the memory becomes a treasure~

Come on Spring!!
I would just like to thank all of you once again for the ideas and opinions. I do feel bad about there being a fuss in this thread but what's done is done. Now with that said.....this snow needs to hurry and go away so I can get my plans underway!!
P.S.
My family will not be able to attend b/c all of them live too far away from me, I live in Maryland, they live in Missouri and Nebraska.

I'm sorry my comments caused the fuss. I tried apologizing. I don't know what else I can do.
Never argue with an idiot. It will bring you down to his level and he’ll win because of experience.

I see absolutely no reason for an apology to be needed. You were not rude, offensive or tasteless with any of your replies. You simply stated your opinion. You are right that there was a fuss in this thread but it most certainly wasn't started by you.

Like angleeyes said, there was no need to apologize. I didn't mean to hurt your feelings if that is what I did by mentioning the fuss.

Kids cost! Thousands!! IMO I would have the party and "not" write no gifts please on the invite, that way if people want to give something they can. Why don't people see that this party (and showers) are for the 'baby'. If people want to give gifts and welcome the baby, they should be able to. If you get something you don't need, donate it. I am a huge gift giver and I don't care how many times someone has had a baby shower, I will still come and bring a baby gift and something for mommy, too (it's hard work having a baby). I know how hard it is to raise kids becuase I have two. And, yes I had two baby showers that other people threw for me, and I did not feel a bit ashamed taking the gifts from the people who care about me.
It is like some people are saying that only first borns are special enough to get gifts and the other siblings only deserve hand-me-downs and nothing new from family and friends. Also, people can have diaper showers were everyone brings a pack of diapers and wipes.
I say party!!! If I was invited to your party, you better belive I would get you and the baby a gift basket no matter how many kids you have
