Quote: Hi Meg01. I too am attending a Ruby Wedding party in a few weeks and they too have asked that we take no gifts. However they support a local charity and have asked that anyone wishing to donate may do so which I think is a lovely idea. Perhaps your friends may also appreciate you supporting a charity close to their hearts.
We did charity donations when we got married 3 years ago. If your friends have said "No gifts" then I would respect their wishes and ask if you can make a donation instead. TBH, there are only so many vases and photo frames one house can take!
