Hi!
We've just been to a wedding which was the second wedding for both partners, so obviously they too have everything they need.
They put on the bottom of their invites:
"As many of you know we have been together for some years and do not have a wedding gift list, so if anyone wishes to make a gift we would really appreciate Next or Marks and Spencer vouchers."
Hope this helps!
And all the best for November!

Afraid you should either take what you get or ask to donate to a charity. No matter what anyone says it is ill mannered and ignorant to ask for money. From answer you will see there is mixed views regarding this topic but you could say roughly the percentage answering that think it rude could be approximately the percentage that attending the wedding would think. Unlikely to tell you but you can bet a lot of not nice things will be said about you. Up to yourself if you want to risk offending some? It is really highly likely without asking lots of guests will give you money in any case but let it be their own choice. What you then do with it would be up to yourselves, choice is endless honeymoon, garden landscaping, garden furniture, new kitchen, whatever! Best wishes on your forthcoming marriage.

Getting married in November too!!!
We live together and have a lot as well.
Think about stuff you won't buy for yourself but might want like
china
crystal
breadmaker
new pans
You can always use
new sheets
new guest sheets
new towels
new guest towels
Do you need any wall art, new luggage?? Do you want a nicer toaster or new curtians.
I would just log on to Macy's and look around and see what they recommend. I found a ton of stuff on there that I WANT but don't need... plus they give you discounts to buy the stuff after the wedding if you don't recieve it as a gift. And you earn points for every gift bought to apply as store credit!!

You could ask for money but that would be tacky wouldn't it? If you are inviting people who are close to you and not just family members who you rarely talk to, or interact with, and those friends who you haven't talked to in a while and most likely will talk about you on your wedding day anyway, then they should know what you want or need. However since you guys have acquired "everything you need" for your house, ask that they make a contribution to an organization that could use the money.

do no longer permit the florist communicate you into $50 centerpieces. no longer needed, there are various centerpieces which would be finished for below $10. flow on your interior of sight arts and crafts keep, purchase a tumbler bowl, fill area way with water and glide some blooms interior the water. below a typical florist affiliation. If the bowl is shallow adequate you additionally can positioned a pillar candle in it. Walmart additionally has rather much less high priced vases. look into the neat centerpieces they did on layout on a Dime wedding ceremony, (determine H) link below. The cala lilys seem appropriate submerged interior the water, I observed this episdoe and that they related some thing to the backside of the stem so the flower did no longer glide out of the water.

My husband and i were the same(just got married Aug 06) so we just added little note in the invite explaining we had no list as our home was already set up and were just looking for their company at the wedding. In the end most people gave us some money and we had an extra special honeymoon.

Thomas cook travel vouchers its like a gift list except your guests purchase vouchers and all the money comes off the amount of your Holiday. I am getting married in august and already bought a house did not want house gifts and thought asking for money was too cheeky so thought this was meeting in the middle

What hobbies are you into? Do you enjoy camping, fishing, mountain biking/climbing, skiing? Whatever it may be, things that are associated that activity are a great gift. I recently went to a wedding were the couple is into skiing; downhill and cross country. Not only was the wedding themed that way, but they requested gifts associated to that activity. When you are into a specific thing, you can never have enough equipment!

Select a charity for guests to make donations to. I am getting married in June and my fiance and I already live together. This is also my second marraige. There are a couple of things we are registering for because we can always use new linens and towels. His mother passed away from breast cancer so we have asked that people make a donation to the Breast Cancer Foundation. This is a great way to honor a love one and give back. Also this is a tax deduction for your guests. You can register with weddingchannel. com and they will make a donation from purchases made from your registries through their website. You can choose from over 100 charities.

There's NOTHING you could use? Must be nice.
What about your fiance, does HE need anything? Got a decent tool box & tools for the household? Smoke detectors, fire extinguishers? Snow shovel, (if applicable) other lawn care supplies?
What about a tire inflator or battery charger? Some sort of travel emergency kit?
Walk through some stores. I'm sure you can find s-o-m-e-t-h-i-n-g.
Do NOT ask for money/gift cards.
