My fiance and I do not want to recieve gifts. Though when I have mentioned it to some close friends they are almost upset with us. Is this OK?. We will be combining two houses when we do marry and will have plenty of things. Any thoughts how to tell people with out having to explain this everytime? I was thinking of asking for guests to make donations to their favorite charity or something of the nature but having a hard time incorporating that into the invitation or announcements. Any ideas would be great. Thanks
