We don’t plan to have any of these things. We are both older and established and we already combined 2 households worth of stuff. We in fact have too much! will people get the hint that we don’t want any gifts? Should we put it on invite? Should we mention it in passing by word of mouth? should we...

should we not say anything?
i guess if they want to give a gift or card they will just hand it to us directly?

We are an older couple and we have two of everyyyything! I have a storage unit with excess stuff from my previous apartment that could not fit into our townhome. I also do not want any gifts or gift cards to any stores. I detailed on my wedding website that we do not have a registry but if someone wants to make a monetary gift to us they can do so using paypal. I would rather receive any monetary gift securely on-line then to have a gift box that could be compromised at the venue. I know we have a few older folks coming that are probably not internet savvy so I will have card box but it will be right next to the sweetheart table to deter theft.

Have a gift table and a card box. We are older as well and I know people will want to give gifts and or cards. Do NOT mention gifts at all on the invite - that is rude as it implies you are expecting a gift. People may want to give you a gift card to a favorite restaurant or something similar.
Please don't say "Your presence is gift enough"... that is still mentioning gifts. Don't mention money at all, it is tacky.
