Good/Bad Gift Idea?

So my fiance and I really don't want people to give us gifts at our wedding. We would just love for them to be there and enjoy our special day with us. 

Although I know it is in bad form to tell them whether or not they can bring a gift, but when someone does ask, we just tell them that we don't need anything and just want them to come and have a good time. 

There have been a few people that have been a bit more persistent in trying to get us to tell them what to buy. So I was wondering, would it be cheesy or in bad form to tell them that it would be a nice gift if we made plans to come over for a home cooked meal and maybe a movie/game night, or something like that? Just something to spend more time together.

    I don't think I would say that for a gift. How you've been responding to the gift question sounds fine.

    Asking someone to host you in their home is kind of strange, TBH.

    "We have decided not to register"

    "We have decided not to register, but we are saving for a ____"

    "I'm sure whatever you choose will be lovely. Thank you so much for thinking of us!"

    All acceptable answers ^^^
