Mentioning gifts on the wedding invitation for a second time marriage
|
|
|
This is going to be my one trip down the aisle. My FH has already been married once. He has suggested that since his family has already attended and purchased a gift for his previous nuptuals, he would like to include something in the invitation for his family members stating "no gifts required". I feel that it's a little presumptuous to assume that they are going to feel obligated to purchase a second gift. Not to mention that it sounds like it IS required. What is the proper way to inform family & friends that a gift is not necessary. Do we include something with the invitation or do we leave it to word of mouth?
I'm at a loss for the correct way to handle this dilema.

Your insticnts are correct; you should never mention gifts on wedding invitations since that would imply that you were expecting gifts.
Spread the word with family and close friends and to anyone who asks. You could also post this on your wedding website, if you have one.
