Cutsy Way to Say gifts are not mandatory?

Jenn&Josh, on November 9, 2016 at 9:59 PM Posted in Planning 0 4

My fiance and I our planning our wedding ourselves and hit a bump with the registry. How do we find a good way to say we would rather have our family attend then think that we want gifts? We have a registry but want to make it clear on our website and invitations that gifts are optional?

    You should write gifts optional under where I put where I are registered. I have seen that before. Looked fine and clear to me!

    Just don't mention gifts at all. Don't put your registry. People can either google to find it, or ask you (or your parents) straight out for it.

    The only time I saw it written out that wasn't terrible was for a Christmas party "your presence is the only present we need" but honestly don't do it for a wedding...I love buying wedding gifts for people. Just don't mention it---let people do what they want. As a guest I would be confused and sad.

    "Gifts Optional" is tacky as fuck. You really shouldn't mention gifts at all.

    Cutesy poems doesn't make it less weird. Mentioning gifts at all on invites is tacky.

    I'd think it was weird if I read an invitation that said anything about gifts.
