Is it OK to say no gifts please?

No gifts, please.” So if no gifts are expected at your party, it's pretty much necessary to say so. And if you are the recipient of an invitation asking you not to bring a gift, it's polite to honor the wishes of the host. Don't bring a gift.

It's okay to ask for cash, or gift certificates, as long as you do it with class and follow a few etiquette guidelines. According to the Emily Post Etipedia, it's fine to tell your family members and close friends that you want cash for your wedding. We figure the same goes for holiday gifts.

How do you ask for gifts on an invitation?

Write “Gifts would be appreciated” on the invitation
A straight to the point way would be to write it in a small print at the bottom of the invitation. The way you word it is very important. Use words like, “gifts would be appreciated”. Or state the type of gift for example “Gift cards would be appreciated”.

Ask your guests
If you are inviting close family and friends to attend your birthday and you know that they would not mind. Ask them directly. Let them know that you would rather prefer to receive a gift card than a physical gift. If there is a particular store that you prefer, let them know as well.

What is the difference between a graduation announcement and invitation?

The difference between a graduation announcement and an invitation is how it is worded. An announcement lets friends and family know that you or your son or daughter is graduating, or has graduated. These can be mailed shortly before or after the actual graduation takes place.

Do you bring a gift to a graduation party?

Bring a gift for the graduate or a small hostess gift for the host or both if you are able. Receiving an announcement does not necessarily call for a graduate gift, but attending the graduate's party does. If a check or cash is your go-to, do what is comfortable.

How much money do I give at a wedding?

When you're giving money for a wedding gift and attending solo, etiquette says you should spend about $50 to $75. But you may want to also consider the couple you're celebrating. If it's a coworker, or someone you just catch up with from time to time, the lower end of the spectrum is appropriate.
