Hi! My husband and I got married this winter and are hosting a celebration this summer. I'm trying to figure out how to handle gifts on the wedding website. I need a message to communicate:
1) For us, it is just a party. We don't want guests to feel any pressure at all to give a gift.
2) We're moving and downsizing soon after the celebration, we absolutely cannot accept any physical gifts.3)

Accidentally posted it to early and can't find a way to edit...
3) We could do a charity registry, either post the charity on the website or accept cash gifts and donate them without any mention or fuss
I'm really struggling on the best way to handle all of this.

Honestly, I just wouldn't register anywhere and not include anything about gifts on the website. If people ask, you can tell them you do not need gifts, but they can donate to a charity of their choice or yours if they would like.

Agree that this is the best approach. However some people do not feel comfortable giving cash or donating to charities outside of their norm. They will buy physical gifts you cannot return and they need to be graciously acknowledged. People know that gifts are optional so you don’t need to say anything about them.
