How To Politely Decline Gifts On Your Anniversary Invitation Card?



The planning of a wedding anniversary celebration, whether it’s your 10th, 25th or 50th, begins with the selection of your anniversary invitation card. You may want to add personal touches to your invite such as your photographs or even a special poem you both share.

Another important detail that you might be considering is how to request your guests NOT to bring gifts for your anniversary? Depending on your family background and the culture in which you were brought up in, requesting someone to NOT bring a gift might seem like a daring concept. However, many couples are opting for the ‘no gift’ clause because they want to break away from etiquette.


If you and your spouse consider the presence of your guests as a gift and would rather do away with receiving presents, here are some phrasing suggestions for politely declining gifts on your anniversary invitation:  No presents please. Your attendance at our special celebration is a cherished gift.  Your friendship and love is the gift we really desire. If however, you wish to bring a gift, please bring a food item that can be donated to someone in need.  This couple kindly requests no gifts (if the invitation is being sent by relatives).  No gifts requests.


 The family kindly requests that no gifts be presented.  No gifts please. Please bring a treasured photograph that you share with the couple.  No gifts please. Please bring with you memories about the couple you’d like to share. (This works very well if the couple is celebrating bigger anniversaries, i.e. 25th, 50th, 60th, etc.)


Where should you include your ‘no gifts please’ request? The most apt place to include your request is at the bottom right or left of the anniversary invitation card. Ensure this note is printed/written in a smaller font than the main invitation. At Indian Wedding Card, we have a large selection of memorable anniversary invitations. Please do visit us!
