Guest Rashida Jones, of US version of The Office told People magazine: "It's really sweet."

The will keep a small selection off gifts including one book from each guest to help build the baby's library.

Joel recently said they are thrilled with their impending arrival: "Having a baby is the most exciting thing that's ever happened to me, and to us."

He also dismissed rumours the couple are having troubles.

"[We're] really happy. Everything else that the others have printed has been completely false."

Nicole also recently denied reports she was smoking, saying: "False and unsubstantiated. The healthy birth of my child is my No. 1 priority."
