My soon-to-be-husband and I have been together for 10 years. I'm a first-time bride. I'm 46 and he's 56. Since we've been together that long and have an established home, we do not need any gifts and aren't asking our guests to bring gifts, nor do we expect them. I have not registered...it seems silly at this point and in this economy.
We'd like to simply put on our wedding invitation "No gifts please. Your presence at our wedding is gift enough. We have everything we need: each other"....or something to that effect, probably shorter.
I've read conflicting things that putting this on an invitation is a big no-no and wanted others perspectives. We're having a very small wedding, no attendants and only about 20 people. I wouldn't find this request out-of-line in anyway, but now I'm confused.
Your thoughts? Thank you
Heidi
