Hi! So my partner and I have lived together for nearly 7 years now, and really don't have need for traditional wedding gifts. We don't need to upgrade our dishes, sheets, towels, etc. We have had guests and family ask about a registry, so we've created a small registry for items that fuel our joint hobbies (cooking and camping) as well as a small honeymoon fund. We wrote something like "seeing you in person will be the best present, but for those that have asked here are some gift items or funds that would be warmly appreciated." on our registry site.
Here is my question though - I would honestly prefer to get just a nice handwritten card/note from our friends & family than a gift. I don't know exactly how to say that to people. I know many guests like to give gifts and we'll happily accept any gift they choose to give, but is there a way to tell guests that the best gift would be just a heartfelt card?
Thanks for any advice.
