No Gifts is what it means. You could give them something for their home later. Alternatively take photographs at the wedding, save on CD and give it to them. If it is No Gifts, they probably haven't booked a professional photographer either. If you do this, take a picture of everybody, don't miss people out like I do!

You by no means obligated to get a present despite the fact that you pass to the marriage ceremony. Putting apart the truth that this couple claims to desire a personal marriage ceremony at the same time while have a good time with a greater institution (I consider it is impolite), you will have to procedure this like some other occasion: present them if you're moved to. If it is for your middle, a small present is correct and sure of path you'll be inventive and stray from the registry. Candles for his or her residing room, a wind chime for his or her lawn, be inventive. However there may be not anything shameful approximately a small present from their registry. A pile of towels stacked prime is a distinguished present, you'll by no means have too many towels. If you do not consider like gifting, best, carry a considerate congratulatory card. **Dont take cash out of your meals price range. Use the present card. A publication is a beautiful present. Maybe a espresso desk publication or images publication, structure or meals, something that they love. Oh! Also, bookstores normally additionally promote board video games. Games are super items for newlyweds.

Respecting the couple's wishes would be nice, but most people want to give a gift anyway. However, gifts should not be brought to the reception/ceremony - that's tacky. Gifts should always be sent/delivered to their home. If you insist on giving them some token, send it afterwards, so they don't have to deal with lugging it somewhere after the reception.

Since the invitation states no gifts you can safely not give any gifts. Maybe you can give them a nice card.

I've gotten a lot of invitations that say "no gift." But people always bring gifts. Just follow your gut instinct.

Never go against what their wishes are, it will make other guests feel bad if you do. Photos are a wonderful idea. If you find out that they need something for their new life you could get it later as an un-birthday present. (alice in wonderland)
