We are still in the early planning of our wedding but one thing we are really struggling with is what to do if people want to buy us gifts. I find gift lists a little awkward plus we have most things that we need for our house etc. For our honeymoon I am planning and booking myself without using an agent or anything so that really isn't an option. We both don't really want anything but feel like people want to buy us something especially close family. I like the idea of charity donations but we both support a number of different charities that mean something special to us so choosing one might be an issue.
What is everyone else doing?

Hi,
We had a gift list, but I've been to a few weddings that didn't. If you don't have a gift list, I think you'll find that you will get mainly money/gift vouchers. People who really want to get you a gift, will do regardless; but it will be just something that they chose. So if you want to minimise the risk of random/unwanted gits - a gift list is the best option.
You could put on the invite that you won't be expecting a gift from guests, but if they want to get you something, then they should get vouchers from xxx, that way you'll have a collection to use/spend.
I hope that helps x

we did a small gift list but also said if people would like to give us money we would be using it to create honeymoon memories .... we went whale watching had special meals etc
We aren't sure either; we might comply a small gift lift but are going to probably ask more for money to spend on our honeymoon.
Why don't you put the charities in a hat and pick out two then ask wedding guests to donate to either one of both charities :)
