When you have been living together for a really long time and have almost everything you need, it actually makes sense to not want gifts; or if you are getting married for the second time and you feel a little bit weird about receiving more gifts and do not want your guests to give you any gifts, then there are ways to make your intentions known to them subtly. You can always spread the news about you not wanting any gifts through word of mouth. You simply talk to your friends and family and tell them how you do not want any gifts and let them spread the word. But it only works for a small family circle. When you are throwing a wedding party, your guests are bound to bring you some gifts. Now, stating directly on the invitation card, “no gifts please” seems way too direct and ends up putting emphasis on the “gifts”, the very thing you wanted to avoid. So to help you out, here are a few ways through which you can subtly say that you do not want any gifts in your invitation.
How to Say No Gifts on a Wedding Invitation
To celebrate the happiness we found in being with each other,
We could ask for nothing more than for you to be happy with us on this day and give us the gift of your beautiful smiles.
Give us the gift of your blessings,
Present us with your happy presence,
And above all, share your love with us.
We will be having all the things we ever wanted,
And yet if you insist on giving us something,
A little contribution to our honeymoon will be more than anything.
What more could we ask for than your good wishes,
So that our dreams turn into beautiful shades of reality.
You have been there for us,
Supporting us, loving us, helping us
And we desire nothing more than for you to be there with us on this day.
Having you beside us on this joyous occasion is the best gift we ever hope to get.
Wish us the best married life,
And gift us with your cheerful company and a healthy appetite for fun and food, of course.
Lively with your jokes,
And memorable with your love.
We will cherish these gifts the most.
All we really want is your presence.
We have a life to make,
We have “everything” we will ever need,
All we seek is your support as we lay the foundation stones of making a life together.

These were some ways to state in subtle ways that you do not want your guests to bring you any gifts. Although, there will always be some people who would insist on gifting you something if all ways of persuasion fail then you should accept the gifts politely. Hope these ways help you out of any awkwardness you might feel in telling your guests that you do not really want any gifts.
