So my husband and I had a very small ceremony last year with just close family. Due to sudden circumstances with his schooling we got married much sooner than we expected and much of our family and friends were not able to make it on the short notice. This ear we are having a vow renewal and my princess reception : we have already received gifts from many of the people we are inviting because everyone knows we're already married. Is there a proper way to say on the invitation that we're not expecting gifts? I don't know what people will assume so I want to make sure it's clear.
Thanks! :

    Not really because it's rude to imply that you were expecting gifts by saying don't bring gifts. Does that make sense? People might or might not bring gifts. If I gave you one last year I wouldn't bring one this time, but if I didn't, then I would bring one.

    Yeah I wouldn't give a dup gift just because you're having a second reception. I wouldn't worry about it, but if it comes up via word of mouth you can always mention it. But I'd leave it off the invite.

    Some people will most likely bring gifts, I think. But, yeah, just don't mention it. It is what it is.

    Ditto the other ladies.  Don't mention gifts at all on your invites.  Just don't register anywhere and spread by word of mouth if people ask.

    Agree with all of the other ladies.  I think by not registering any where they will get the idea.

    Hopefully with a vow renewal people may get the hint, as you're already married, that you wouldn't need any gifts. But I agree with the other knotties, don't put anything about gifts on the invitation because it sends the wrong message. Even if you are saying "we don't need any". You could always tell anyone helping out in the planning process, like a parent or close friends and they could spread the word when asked.
