If you wanted your guests not to bring gifts, how exactly would you write it on the invitation card? Or how would you tell them if you invite through a phone call?
Re: No gifts please
The infamous “no boxed gifts” thread:

Re: No gifts please
Do you mean no gifts as in no toaster, bedding etc and cash gifts only or NO gifts of any kind?
If it’s the latter, you can say something about how you would love if they joined you in the celebration of your marriage and that their presence would be the gift or something like, ahem. 
Personally, I wouldn’t mention anything about gifts on any invite. It’s seems presumptuous as if you were expecting one anyway. =/
Re: No gifts please
I mean no gifts at all.
Re: No gifts please
Add the at all
Re: No gifts please
Just say: “Let your blessings/wishes/prayers be your only gift as you celebrate with us”
Re: No gifts please
What Muzna said.
Or you could ask your guests to donate to a charity in lieu of gifts.
Re: No gifts please
It usually means ‘no boxed gifts please - we prefer getting money’
If they mean no money either then good for them but some people are very shameless in openly asking for money only. on many invitations now I am reading ‘no boxed gifts’ and one time an invitation said ‘cash gifts only’ how utterly shameless. sounds like they are begging for money!
Re: No gifts please
That’s actually very common… I have yet to receive a wedding invite that doesn’t say boxes gifts only… Its not begging. Often times the girl is moving somewhere after the wedding, she can’t take 100 dinner place sets with her. And most people end up giving very similar gifts that end up going to waste. Its better to give money, how much ever the guest thinks is reasonable, and let the couple spend it however they want.
What ever happened to good old gift registry? I say, just register yourself at your favorite store, and let every guest decide how much he or she wants to pitch in.
If you go with any big store, then to moving to a different city, or receiving multiple dinner sets would not be an issue
Re: No gifts please
Don’t write “No gifts please” as people will assume you are referring to “No boxed gifts” (which is an unfortunately common demand for cash).
If you don’t want gifts at all, say what Muzna said. I’ve also seen something like “Your presence is the only present we need” or “Your presence is the best present.”
If you want people to donate to a charity, you should make that clear with a box for the charity at the entrance and/or a place on your wedding website that lets guests donate. Some people will still want you to know that they gave, so find a way to acknowledge that.
Re: No gifts please
Maybe OP doesn’t want to send Thank You notes to the guests.
Thank You.
