In my invitations I would like to indicate that the dress code is: semi-formal or formal. I really want my invites to dress nicely, it will be held at a Howard Johnson Hotel, it will be a sit down dinner, starting with a welcome cocktail reception. Is it appropiate to indicate the dress code? The other question is re presents, I do not mind presents, however, in the past I have received presents that have been setting in my basement, because is not my style, color or just dont match my decor, to avoid this, I would like to add to my invitation and little card that states the following: "Gifts Certicates are welcome".. and I have listed just a few places that I would like to get stuff from. I do believe that this way my friends and family, will not be spending their time and their money on a present that eventually I would not enjoy. Is this a polite way of indicating I do not want presents, rather gift certificates? What should I do, No stores offers registry like weddings or showers
