Gender reveal for last baby

in November 2015 Moms
We decided that we are done at two. I didn't have a shower with my first. I don't really want to have a shower for this one. We plan on doing a gender reveal party and invite family and close friends. Since we have almost everything we need for the baby we aren't going do a registry or anything. I don't want people to feel bad if they want to get something. Any suggestions on a good way to say come celebrate but no gifts?

    I would put "no gifts please" on the invitations, or ask people to bring a book or diapers instead of a gift.

    Just word of mouth. Tell your mom and his because most likely people will call them to ask what you need/want. Let your parents know this is just a party not a shower and should some one ask thank them but let them know gifts aren't really apart of they celebration. Also though be prepared people really like to buy baby stuff so you will most likely end up with a few gifts. Be gracious and if it is something you don't need/want donate it on the down low to a charity or church

    I totally use to be one of those people who still brought a gift. It's true, people LOVE buying for babies. Now that I have a kid I totally understand when parents say no gifts!

    I like the "your presence is your present" line.

    I would just avoid mentioning a gift. When most people think gender reveal, they don't think bring a gift. Especially since they don't know what it is or what you might like/need since it is your second child. The ones that do bring a gift are probably people who are going to get you a gift whether you say no gifts or don't.

    This. Gifts shouldn't be mentioned on an invitation.

    Thank you everyone. I wasn't planning on mentioning anything about gifts on the invitations. I just know everyone will be calling or texting asking what we need.
