How do I tell guests that I don't want gifts?

What is the proper way to let guests know that I do not want gifts? If anything, I could really use money or gift certificates. I am not registering anywhere, hoping people might get the hint. My house is filled to capacity with stuff and I just don't need anything else. But after paying for a wedding, money would be greatly appreciated!

  • If you aren't registered anywhere, most people will just give you money.  But you can't dictate to them what to give you as a gift.  Are you having a bridal shower?  If you are, you may want to create a small registry, otherwise you'll be getting whatever people feel like getting for you.  But I've seen very few people bring an actual gift to a wedding, its usually cash.
