Should i put a gift request in invites

Most weddings I have been to include a note about gifts in with the invite - it either gives details of the wedding gift registry, or asks for contributions to the honeymoon or to a chosen charity instead. It's usually prefaced by a 'please don't feel obliged to give us a gift, but if you would like to ' or 'if anyone would like to mark this occasion with a gift...'

I don't think it's pushy to include gift information with a wedding invite, since guests will expect to give something and it saves time having to answer each person's questions individually. I know I've always appreciated it when the information is included with the invite.

Thank you for your reply that's what I have read on line people prefer a gift list

Every wedding I have been to has including some sort of gift request in the invite. It’s totally normal and expected. Either a link to a registry, a request for “no boxed gifts” (Asian euphemism for cash), honeymoon contribution website, or direct request for cash. We are being controversial and not doing that because we really don’t need anything and we feel too British and awkward asking for cash! However, if anyone asks, parents and chief bridesmaids are instructed to pass on that we don’t expect gifts, but if guests want to, we would prefer something personal, or a financial honeymoon contribution.

I'm loving your euphemism for cash - around here, any bride and groom asking for 'no boxed gifts' would get exactly that - all their gifts taken out of the boxes

When my friend got married about two years ago she requested no physical gifts on her invites and provided a link to a website where we could contribute towards specific things on their honeymoon, such as spa treatments and excursions etc

We used the wedding website through this app. And added a wedding gifts section with a paypal link (we’ve asked for honeymoon contributions, IF people feel like contributing) and made the PayPal especially.
I always like to know if people would like money or a gift of their choosing or mine if I go to a wedding, so I think it’s a good idea
