We have having a ceremony to welcome our LO to the world. We aren't religious, so think of this as our own version of a baptism combined "Meet the Baby" type party.
We do NOT want gifts. We've already received gifts from most of the people invited and I really don't want people to feel obligated to get something else for us. Is it ok to say that on the invite? I am not sure if by saying "no gifts please" it sounds assuming...?
Here's the wording I was thinking of, thoughts appreciated: We've already been very blessed and LO is well equipped with everything she needs for now - no gifts needed!
Thanks!

Don't mention gifts.
If your guests do want to give you a gift-- let them-- and accept the gift graciously.
