What does NO BOXED GIFTS mean?

............strange...................

Yup. "Clever" way of asking for cash or gift cards. I find that to be in poor taste.

Ew!

I'd say it's either a way to ask for cash only, or they're trying to tell you they don't have space/ability to transport physical gifts.

Did they register anywhere? If not they're probably hoping for cash.

I would say they are not so subtly asking for money in cards, not physical gifts.

Nope no registry... So I am so confused... Not sure if it is due to transportation... So I don't know what to give them...

I have never in my life encountered such a thing on any kind of invite. If you feel like being nice, I'd call and ask. I do kind of get the vibe that they are trying to sneakily ask for money, because why would anyone restrict how their guests package their gifts?

I would be tempted to be a snarky guest who just puts it in a bag or gives them a gift card for a random store, because an invite is not the place for it. And I really don't like being told as soon as I'm invited that I should give a specific type of gift.

That means no physical gifts...my friends asked for that when they were married in Ohio but living in California, and my BIL and his wife did the same when they were married in Georgia and living in Alaska...but it was passed by word of mouth, not on the invitations...

If they were actually registered somewhere, I would take it that they didn't want wedding gifts brought to the actual wedding as for lack of space, or difficulty transporting them home. In that case, I would have bought something off their registry online and had it shipped directly to them if I wanted to give an actual gift. (Although I'm usually a cash giver for the wedding)

Since they aren't registered anywhere, that is just a rude way to ask for cash/gift cards and I would definitely be turned off by it. Like Pan, I would be tempted to do something snarky as well.

Easy: buy some china and unbox it.

LOL ya..it's a way of asking for money I would guess..would they accept gifts sent to their home I wonder, if the plane ride or travel to HM is the issue?

--oh I just read you aren't sure..to me confusing guests AND asking for money, geez! I usually just give money anyways..but in this case I'd want to try to be a smart a$$ lol..hmm are other people you know going, what do they have to say about it?

In my opinion... that's just tacky. At first I was thinking they were "going green" as in no wrapped presents (as you may do for a display bridal shower)... but no boxed gifts? I think this poor bride needs to register on WW to get some knowledge.

If you were planning to give cash/gift cards anyway, I'd say that's definitely what they're hoping for. So I would just do that.

If you don't want to give either of those things, then I would buy them whatever the heck gift you want and send it to their house. Resist the urge to do something snarky but no matter what, you shouldn't feel like only cash is acceptable. That's balls.

This is why I yell when brides post if it's okay to write that stuff on invites - even if it's an innocent mistake it confuses people and makes them side-eye a bit.

I felt the same way... I'm like yes FH and I would LOVE CASH but I would NEVER put that in the invites... and we have alot of weddings in our families the next few months and people are asking me well what's the wedding etiquette for this and that... SMH...

Also what is a GOOD or fair "cash" amount to give... Because I can fing Fab GIFTS for 25.00...

I'm going to go ahead and read this as "No gifts... period."

Rude.

Lol I think that's silly. I'd put it in a bag

Give however much cash you would spend on a gift. If you want to give cash at all. You don't have to. As an OOT bride I know I appreciated all our guests who shipped their gifts to our house - but any gift was greatly appreciated no matter what it was.

BTW we never said a peep about boxed gifts and only ONE person brought a boxed gift to the reception. It was a dear 90-year old family friend who is on bedrest, but asked a mutual friend to drop it off.

I will never understand why people feel it's necessary to put this stuff on invitations.

I kind of thought it meant not to wrap it at first, but I think I'm wrong

Urban Dictionary...LOL

I think its a not so subtle way of asking for money. However, I did go to a wedding earlier this year where it stated to please send all gifts to the couples home address. Their venue didn't have the space to put gifts. I can't beileve they would put that though

How rude...they are asking for $!!
