I have not had a baby shower for any of my other children, and am expecting twins in December. My best friend has asked if she can organize a baby shower.
I haven't said yes yet - purely because it may come across as trashy to have a shower with my fourth and fifth child... Although I haven't had one before...
What do you all think?

I don't consider it trashy. I never understood the whole "don't have showers for subsequent babies" except where the showers were way beyond what mine always were and had major presents and such. Everyone I know has a shower for every single baby.
She offered. Let her. My niece had a shower for her 5th. They did... a zombie theme... with zombie babies... and a really disgusting cake that when you cut into it it bled all over (it was shaped like a belly) and a zombie baby inside... basically it was all about welcoming baby and having a good time, not presents if that's the concern.
Normally showers are for first time moms and when there is a large gap between the first and the second child.
Normally it is impolite to tell guests what type of presents to bring.
However in this situation I think, why not.
Hopefully word will sort of get out that you've never had one before and it is two babies.
I'm hoping your friends will be able to give you things that you truly need and not something you have 2 or 3 of already.
Best wishes to you.
Not trashy, twins will require "special" things that you didn't need and wouldn't have from previous children (think double stroller). Don't feel bad have an awesome party!
It's not trashy at all! Let them throw you a shower :) congrats on your twins!
