Sequoia - "Not a Baby Shower" afternoon tea! I love the idea. It is in indirectly prepositioning people to NOT bring a gift, and serves more as a get-together rather than a baby shower. Great idea. Thanks for the suggestion.

Did these work well? Were they just a get together type of event?
You're welcome! They worked out great, one was a surprise for one friend and the other one knew about it. All of us bought a sweet plate, I made cupcakes, and we sat around chatting.
