Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
Our friend didn't get in until late, so we slept late. Don't know how long he'll be here.(He's here because his SO, who was in town for a conference, is in the hospital with a gallbladder attack)

Are you ready to be strong?
Timelies!
I need some advice, please.
Saget and I don't want wedding presents. We're not registering anywhere; we're not getting "favors" or whatever for our guests; we don't want people to feel obligated to buy us anything. Do we say "no gifts" on the invite in some funny/nice way, or do we wait for people to ask where we're registered? We're arguing about this right now. I say you don't tell people what they are and are not allowed to do; Saget says if he were invited to such a wedding he'd want to know that gifts were not expected.

Maybe put an "In lieu of gifts, we prefer that you make a donation to the charity of your choice" or something like that? If you don't put something on the invite, then, in all likelyhood, you'll end up with some people knowing you don't want gifts, and others not knowing, and then some guests will show up with gifts and some without and it could lead to some people feeling uncomfortable.

Rio, I've seen a few invitations that requested something like, "Best wishes in lieu of gifts," and others that were "In lieu of gifts, please donate to the following charities..." I wasn't offended by either suggestion, but I'm no Miss Manners. But I think no mention of gifts implies that gifts are welcome.
What happened to my friends is that even though they requested no gifts, the older generation of guests bought them gifts, and the younger generation didn't.

How about a list, like: "Instead of gifts: (a) go buy yourself something pretty; (b) go out to dinner 'on us'! (c) give money to the Innocence Project [address] or Prison Performing Arts [address]; or (d) do nothing."
