If I invite people to attend my wedding, and they cannot attend, do they have to send gifts? I DO NOT want gifts, and do not want people to feel obligated to send us one!

They do not HAVE to send gifts but most people will. My husband and I just got married this past saturday and many of the people who could not attend have already sent cards with checks in them. They didnt do it because they felt obligated to but because they wanted to. If people send gifts whether it be actual gifts or money, just be greatful and send a nice thank you card.

No they do not. Generally what I do if I cannot attend is give half the amount I would have given if I attended in a check and mail it in a beautiful wedding card. I know you don't want people to feel obligated but sometimes people want to send the gift because they really wanted to attend and they couldn't. It is a matter of choice.

No one is obligated to attend or to send gifts.

No one is obligated to get you a gift however you can ask that in lieu of sending or giving a gift they make a contribution to a specified charity in you and your spouses name is a nice gesture although saying to people we dont want your gifts is rude so make sure you thank them properly if they do not abide your choice of no gifts. Then if you dont want what you are given donate it to your local shelter or thrift store

No, people don't have send you a gift, it's only if they want to.
