Best wording for no gifts

Don't write anything. A gift should never be expected.

Put it on your wedding website or share it by word of mouth not on the invitation for the RSVP.

Just don't say anything about it.

What @Sarah said.

And honestly you can say it all you want, I'm not showing up to your wedding without a gift. You're going to get a check/cash.

I think even if you tell them by word of mouth, so people will come with a gift. Even if it is a check/cash like @gymrat stated. If they ask about a registry, just say we are not registered anywhere. Some get the hint.

I'm with pp's. Don't write it, but if somebody asks if you have a registry or such just tell them "your presence is present enough."

I applaud you, Robin, for not seeing your wedding as a possible source of revenue, as so many do. Unfortunately, os others have said, there's no way to get this message across except by word of mouth, and even then people may doubt you mean it.

Its good wedding etiquette to give a gift. You don't have to register, but I think it is kind of rude to ask people to break etiquette. Even if someone told me they don't want presents, I'd look at them like they are crazy and still bring a gift.

Just don't say anything. Don't register. Definitely don't write it on anything. Still, you'll get stuff. It's what people do.

Super considerate of you to not want gifts but don't mention anything about gifts. You're going to get them regardless because people like giving wedding presents.

If u put that on your invitation, more people will give you gifts. Just don't say anything.

Agreed with all the smart ladies that already posted @sarah m

Don't register, don't put it on invites. If people ask tell them you don't want gifts and then when they give you gifts in the form of items or money, send them a nice thank you card.

Thank you ladies.

I just wouldn't mention anything at all and not do a registry.

Don't mention anything.

My sister and I threw a large anniversary party for our parents and put "your presence is the only present desired" on the invitation. About a quarter of the guests still brought gift cards but I think it was nice that we let people know a gift was not expected.

I don't want to get into the whole "a gift is never expected" debate. When someone receives an invitation to an event, if they have any form of manners they bring a gift.

Agreed, just don't say anything. People are still going to show up with them. It is what it is.

Agree with all PPs. don't put anything on your invitations, don't register either. but you will still most likely get gifts from people. I would never go to a wedding or a party without a gift, no matter what the person's invitation said
