Hi girls, we are getting the invitations ready and were wondering whether it is appropriate to put a wedding list code in the invitations for evening only?? What's everyone doing? I personally would not be offended and would appreciate the guidance but wouldn't want to upset anyone, please help!!

I dont know actually. I think we will probably put a gift lift in but make it clear we dont expect anything

I've just done my invitations for evening guests. Have just added a line to say that we don't expect anything but if they would like to get us something money towards a honeymoon would be appreciated.
All the weddings I've been to as an evening guest we have normally given money unless otherwise stated because the couples tend to have everything they need already. I wouldn't turn up without anything even if they didn't stipulate in the invitation.

I've been to a couple of weddings as an 'evening only' guest and both invites had a gift list included. I wasn't offended (and I don't think anyone else was) that the list had been included - it's not as if you expect everyone to contribute but it helps those that want to. x

I've never been to an evening wedding when they've provided a gift list so always just put money in their card. I'm not sure what to do on this one either?!?!

I'm the same as Sijen - have generally just put money in a card. Cousin's wedding this June is first one with list and theirs is all online so not going in with invitations. I think it'll be grand to put the list in - as the others have said, it doesn't mean they have to give, it's just guidance for those who want to :)

We have a nice poem that we are putting on the information sheet inside the invite so I'll probably just put it on for the evening invites too.

Yeah I think putting a gift list in them is a good idea, I'm not asking for gift, just a contrabution towards our honeymoon, as we got everything we need and can't afford to go on a honeymoon aswel, just going to say we're having a post box and would like some cash to go towards pur honeymoon, most of our friends and family know this already so not a problem, but if u have it in ur invites you won't get people ringing u up every 5mins asking what you would like for a gift, the only problem is that I see is you might get several of the same gifts, so I would put up an online account with all your gifts on 4 people to see and cross off when they have decided on what they would like to get u saves hassle that way for ur guests and them then thinking hopefully no one has got the same gift xx

We really didn't want our guests to bring gifts and we're not keen on people giving us money either so I put a little note on the bottom of our invites saying "we would prefer if guests do not bring gifts, your good wishes are the best gift we could hope to receive"
CommentAuthorMrscarter2b
We've made up a little poem too Sijen and our invitations arrived today so very excited!!! Think I'm going to put it in the ones for family and friends but the work related guests will do a collection anyway so I won't add it to theirs. Thanks for all the advice, it was very appreciated x
