Q. My grandmother finds it distasteful, but I like getting family together to celebrate EVERYTHING and my second baby isn't less important than my first. I want to celebrate it :)
No one really does gifts in my family to begin with so that really wouldn't be an issue.
How should I go about the invitations?

Answer
When did it become distasteful to welcome the coming of a child? If you aren't looking for big gifts then have a "sprinkle".

If your grandmother feels it's still in bad taste, then let her know you are having a sprinkle and if she doesn't approve then she shouldn't attend.

Baby showers first came about as a way for friends and family to gather in a celebration to help a new mom prepare for the baby. With a first child, a new mom needs to stock up on lots of baby supplies, including the of big items (the car seat, stroller, high chair, crib, etc.). It used to be that baby showers were only held for the first child.
Why? The parents already purchased the big items the first time around so they don't need as much for the next child. The baby sprinkle started as an idea to celebrate all children, since they are all a gift. It allows for a smaller baby shower, since the mom-to-be would need less this time around.
This is not to say you can't have a "full baby shower" for baby #2 and beyond. If your circumstances require the need for a full baby shower, by all means go for it.
