Wording for gifts on invitatios

MrsMorgan2018, on October 15, 2017 at 11:26 PM Posted in Registry 0 7

I am currently finalizing our invitations and was trying to figure out the gift portion. We really don't want to register anywhere as we have been living together almost 3 years but I also do not want to put a poem regarding a monetary gift. Is it weird to leave the gift portion out of the invitation all together? Not sure if that would cause confusion?

    Don't put anything on your invite, even if you do have a registry. At MOST, put a link to your wedding website. If there's nothing on the invite and they can't find registry information, people will get you money. It's the fallback gift 9 times out of 10

    My husband and I were together for almost 9 years when we got married in July. We have lived together for a good 8 years. So we didn't need anything. So I simply put nothing on the invitation. We did get cards sand loved it. Some head money, some head nothing And others had gift cards to restaurants. My advice would be to put nothing and let each person decide what they want to give.

    Gift info shouldn't go on the invite anyways.

    Gift information never ever gets put on the invite. If anything just put your wedding website and on the website just note that you are not registered anywhere. People will deduce that you want cash.

    I've always read that you should NOT put a wedding registry on the wedding invitation and that it comes off like you're asking for a gift, so it should be left off of the invitation. My fiance and I have been living together for the past 3 years so we don't plan to make a registry and we're not asking for anything either, letting it be up to the guests if they want to gift anything or not.

    Gifts, including no gifts, should never be mentioned on an invitation.
