OMG I forgot to put something on my invites and they have been sent............

If I received a wedding invitation without gift details, I'd most likely contact the bride or groom to ask what they wanted.

I think an additional page on your wedding website would be fine - just put what you've written here ?

We put it in our invites and also have a page on our website. You can have a look if you like, its www.phillandlindsay.gettingmarried.co.uk The picture on the page is the beach at the resort ?

Dont worry about it, theres no set rule. I didnt mention gifts at all in our invitations, people just texted or emailed me and asked what we'd like or asked our parents what we would like.....

was fine either you set up your website page but mind those who are not on the net will prolly just call and ask you.

OK thanks girls, I will sort this out asap!!

We had just stuffed all our evening invites into the envelopes when my dad casually went...what date is the wedding. I thought he was just being a bloke when he pointed out we hadnt put the date on the invites!!

People will ask about gifts...dont worry too much!

Thanks for your suggestions, I agree with the 'rude' thing'. Close family members have all offered to pay for parts of our wedding as a present to us which is a lovely thought and makes it all personal.

I will do the website page like you have all suggested, saying that we dont need anything for our home and we dont need any money for our honeymoon as its 'all inclusive'!! Could do with some money to pay it off though lol!!!

So perhaps I could put something about 'not needing presents but a contribution towards our honeymoon would be great??'

Need to get this done as people have started to ask already and I said I would let them know....... ?

Whoopsie!!!! ?

Ive actually had a wedding invite in today's post with no gift list info - ive just written out our RSVP and have just said to let us know if they have a giftlist. If for any reason they didnt get back to us I would probably go for Next/Debenhams vouchers as last resort. I am sure that if anyone wants to buy you a present they will ask!

However even a couple of my friends who have had giftlists and sent them out with invites have still been given random toasters/fruitbowls/strange ornaments on their wedding day!!! xx

I'd just put it on your website - thats all we did.

Just say something honest like - as you all know, we have lived together for 11 years so have just about everything we want. We are not looking for wedding gifts, however, if you want to get us something here some suggestions [add voucher list here] or contributions to our honeymoon would be much appreciated.

Or something like that. You could also say - if you see anything that you think we would like then that would be much appreciated too

Hope that helps a little

OK thanks for your help girlies, I will update you shortly! ?

We didn't mention gifts at all and only got a few actual presents as the rest was either in vouchers, cheque or cash. I don't think there is a need to mention gifts at all because either people will ask, buy what they are comfortable with regardless of whether you have a list or said what you would like or give you money. We did get a lot of towels but I'll use them eventually and it was nice to get presents to actually open.
