I wanted your opinions on whether or how to write this on our invitations?
My family is adamant that we write "no gifts" on the invitations because we just want people to share in our happiness rather than worry about what to give or how much to give, especially in such hard times. My uncle said that this "no one does this in Pakistan" and that "we'll be the laughingstock of the family" for writing this. Is he right? How can we word this to get across our sentiments?
I have seen it on so many Pakistani cards! Its not your Uncles wedding, its yours. Do what your Father says not your Uncle.
Just write, "no gift boxes please."
There is nothing rude about it. Best of luck. :)
