hEllo bajis!! ^^ Is there a nice way of telling people not to bring gifts or boxes to the wedding because we’re moving away to another continent?? Should I write something like: No gifts please? Should I provide the reason??
Confused!!:hinna:
Re: No boxes!
I attended a wedding once with same scenario except they were moving to another state.. so they wrote something like this
"Your dua's are the best gift but if you wish to give a gift, we ask for no boxed gifts"
Re: No boxes!
There was an 'interesting' thread on this a while back. Missweet89 if u do a search u can check out all the comments for urself, can't remember tho if that thread got locked in the end or not..

I like that line.
Are you doing gift registries? If you are, I found some cute poems/words you can include in your invitations. They use the words "wishing well" and you can either use a card box or wishing well for cards/wishes found at many craft stores:
**Because Bride and Groom be living in ____,
We request that you consider looking at their bridal registrations.
If nothing suits your choices,
We will have a wishing well at the reception**
OR
Because Bride and Groom have what they need for their new home,
We request you consider something from the registries.
If you see nothing that suits you,
A wishing well will be available at the reception.
Re: No boxes!
No. It's rude and tacky.
There are already two heated threads on this topic.
Re: No boxes!
It's definitely considered rude and tacky for non-desi guests to see a "no boxed gifts" line on an invitation. There are always those people who will bring toasters and irons to a wedding, where the gifts will all pile up and the bride and groom will have no use for them. I'd rather have it so that those guests simply don't bring anything. It's always going to be a debate whether to include that on an invite or not and I guess it should always be to your discretion.
