What is proper way to tell those being invited to reception that we would like these instead of typical wedding gifts, towels, etc. We are having a private ceremony with a Luau reception a couple of weeks after our wedding. Thanks!

wouldn't it be great to add a little humor and say something like--We are registered at home depot folks because as you know, the second time around requires a lot more tools, sturdier materials and expert advice!

It's not socially correct for you all to print on your invitations that you want gift cards from Home Depot. If you truly only want gift cards from Home Depot, I would suggest that you register for Home Depot on a wedding site like www.theknot.com (or something similar) and/or tell your closest friends and let the word pass around. If people ask you what you want, tell them honestly.
Good luck and congratulations!

The best way to do this is via word of mouth. Tell family members, bridal party members, close friends etc. DO NOT put this on the wedding invitation, that is considered rude and extremely tacky. You can put it on a shower invite though, or if you have a wedding website, you can put it there.

I am not trying to be rude, so please try not to take it that way. It is improper to ask for gifts of any kind. If you would rather have gift cards then let your closest family know. If they are asked what you need/want they can let your guests know. This is especially important not to ask for gifts because this is the second marriage for you both.Your friends and relatives that attended and gifted for your first marriages, may not gift again. Of course, some may, but I would not expect a gift.

you just ask for monetary gifts dont say any place specific. You can tell the people that you are close to like family members that but not friends or coworkes etc. You can also make it known by word of mouth. Talk about it at the water cooler... good luck

It would be rude, tacky and crass to do that. It is just not done. That is not what you are inviting your guests for.
Guests at a wedding are not "required" to bring gifts, however most choose to do so - to help the couple out and to give them a memento. Just don't say anything.
Whatever you are doing with finishing your home is your business - it's not for guests to contribute to.

Home Depot actually has an on-line gift registry: http://www.homedepot.com/prel80/HDUS/EN_US/diy_main/pg_diy.jsp?BV_SessionID=@@@@2132575907.1174961663@@@@&BV_EngineID=ccddaddkhlmklmjcgelceffdfgidgkk.0&CNTTYPE=PROD_META&CNTKEY=Gift%20Center/Gift%20Registry&MID=9876&pos=n56
So I would recommend you register for some gifts there. Then you can let your close family members and friends know where you are registered and they can spread the word when asked. Also as guests ask you where you are registered, let them know you have an online gift registry at Home Depot.

I sympathize consisting of your prefer to have a newborn yet it is a nasty, undesirable undesirable theory! Legally: no longer purely can your chum get fired if stuck, in maximum places it is a legal. and also you're an adjunct. except you opt for to have slightly one in detention center, overlook it. Biologically: there's a reason in vitro fertilization is a low yield proposition: The circumstances do no longer opt for impregnation. that is why it many times takes countless tries. enable's settle for it - the "universal" way of fertilization many times takes a a number of tries (on universal). Ethically: those who donate sperm achieve this lower than very strict circumstances and lower than the peace of mind that their genetic textile will be used wisely. they have a suitable to have that expectation fulfilled. And what could you tell your newborn? That they were the made from a criminal offense? Please re-research.
