How to say 'no gifts please' on your wedding invitation

our home would be greatly appreciated
contributions towards our future together will be greatly appreciated

However, if you would like to mark the occasion
then we would be more than grateful to receive a small
contribution towards our honeymoon.
More than anything, we hope that you can make it on the day,
so please don't feel obliged in any way"

Many of you will travel long distances to share our wedding day with us,
so please do not feel obliged to get us anything else!
Should you wish to, we have a John Lewis gift list
which will open in June (gift list number xxxxxx).

If you are thinking of giving a gift to help us on our way,
a gift of cash towards our honeymoon, would really make our day.
Or if you’d prefer to buy a gift, then surprise us on the day.
...
We have zero expectation for gifts.
That said (and only for those that insist)
we suggest making a donation to your favourite charity or,
for those that prefer, please chip-in towards
a kitchen table we have our eyes on.
Either option would make us very happy.

We are sending out this invitation
In hope you will join a celebration
But if a gift is your intention
May we take this opportunity to mention
We have already got a kettle and toaster
crockery, dinner mats and matching coasters
So rather than something we’ve already got
We would appreciate money for our honeymoon pot
But most importantly we request
That you come to our wedding as our guest.
...
Our life together has already begun,
We have almost everything under the sun.
If you should wish to buy us a gift,
A little extra money would give us a lift.
But most importantly, we request,
You share our day as our wedding guest.
Now that we’ve saved you any fuss,
We can’t wait for you to celebrate with us!
...
The most important gift to us is
having you share in our special day.
But if you wish to contribute in some other way.
We would love a few pennies to put in our pot,
for our honeymoom trip after tying the knot.
...
We want you to know that it is your presence not your
presents that’s important to us, however if you would
like to bless us with a gift then money towards our
honeymoon will be most appreciated.

If you're thinking of giving us a gift,
to help us on our way,
a gift of cash towards our honeymoon,
would really make our day.
Then while we're relaxing on the beach,
or by the pool so blue,
we'll sit back and know that,
it is truly thanks to you!
....
We’ve lived together for a whole, with all our pots and pans,
And as we don’t need homely gifts we’ve got another plan.
We know it’s not traditional and not the way it’s done,
But rather than a wedding list, we’d love a bit of sun.
So if you’d like to give a gift and send us on our way,
A donation to our honeymoon would reallymake our day.
But the choice is really up to, and we would like to say,
That the best gift we could receive is you with us on our special day.
....
The occasion of our marriage is a precious time to share with family,
friends and loved ones, so we hope that you'll be there, we do not ask you bring a gift,
but if you feel the need, a little bit of money, would be very kind indeed,
please don't feel obliged, please don't feel you must,
just the pleasure of your company, would mean the world to us
....
In order to make our dreams come true,
We’d love to go on a honeymoon for a week or two.
Instead of a dinner set, a vase or a bowl,
A financial contribution would make our wedding experience whole.
...
We know it’s not tradition
It’s not the way it’s done,
But instead of a wedding list
We’d like a bit of sun.
Please do not think of us as rude,
Please do not take offence.
We do not want to upset you
That's not the way it's meant.
We’ve lived together quite a while
And all the bills are paid,
We’ve got our plates, our pots and pans,
Our plans have all been made.
We would appreciate your help though,
To send us on our way,
A contribution to our honeymoon
In a land quite far away.
But, most importantly, we request,
You come to our Wedding as our guest.
To share with us our special day
And have some fun along the way.
...
We haven’t got a gift list for all of you to see,
because as you all know we never can agree!
To save you shopping, sit back and rest,
A gift of money is our request.
Large amounts are not anticipated
Any amount would be hugely appreciated
Now that we have saved you all the fuss
We can’t wait for you to celebrate with us!
...
We are sending out this invitation,
and hope you will join our celebration.
If to send a gift is your intention,
in modesty we would like to mention,
we have already got a kettle and a toaster,
crockery, dinner mats and coasters,
so rather than something we have already got,
we would be grateful for something for our saving pot.
But most importantly, we request,
that you turn up as our wedding guest.
...
For a couple of years we’ve lived in sin,
We have a toaster, kettle and even a bin.
Pots and pans we have many,
Towels and flannels we don’t need any.
We just want you with us to celebrate our day,
But if your insisting on a gift anyway.
What we’d really like is a gift of money,
We hope you don’t think we are being funny.
We’ll put it all together and buy something that’s best,
As a reminder of our day and our wonderful guests.
