Re: graciously asking for no gifts
I think having the party around a theme like bringing pillow for the homeless shelter sounds great. Or, what about canned goods for the food pantry in town? I do think the personal phone call would be best to each parent explaining how you feel blessed and having more gifts isn't necessary, but if they felt a need, to give something that could be given to others.
Lots of good advice from all of you!
