PUBLIX, Publix, and more Publix. I HATE shopping anywhere else. I love their store-brand food, I love their customer service, I love everything about the store. It's fantastic. I actually feel bad for people that don't live in the south!!!

There's a huge difference between celebrating a child and soliciting gifts. It's my opinion that second children should be welcomed with a "sprinkle", for which the parents do not register. Guests can choose to purchase a gift or not, but since there's no registry (and nothing directly asking for gifts) it's not implied as expected.

To answer the original question, however, I think in this case you have to question whether sharing your personal beliefs is worth the possible loss of a friend. If the friend is very "popular" and you wouldn't be missed, by all means, skip the shower. If you feel that you would be missed, go and don't take a gift. If she asks later (which would be SUPER rude, IMO), explain your beliefs and ask if there is anything else that she needs (or don't, that part is up to you).
