Different ways to say “No Gifts, please”

When you are planning to throw wedding parties or birthday parties or to celebrate your anniversaries, there is always the issue of gifts. While guests are expected to give you gifts, sometimes you may not want them to. Giving gifts has been an age-old tradition and therefore, it can get awkward when you try to tell your guests not to bring any gifts. There are some ways to politely let them know about your intentions of not wanting to receive gifts. You can always spread the news by telling your friends and family about it and then they can circulate it among the guest circle. There is another way of letting your guests know that you do not wish to receive any gifts, you can add a line or two in the invitation. To directly say “No Gifts, please” might seem a little too direct and you end up emphasising the very thing you wished to avoid- gifts. So, here are a few ways by which you can indirectly say “No Gifts, please” on your invitation.
