They can relay this information to their guests on the invitation by having printed, on the bottom left or right hand corner of the invitation in a smaller font size, one of the following:

No gifts
No gifts please
Your presence is your present
Your present is your presence
Your presence is the only gift we desire
Your presence is our preferred gift

Mail further out if you have many out of town guests or send a save the date card 12-18 weeks ahead of time for everyone to reserve the date of the party so more people are sure to accept.

Anniversary invitation styles

Anniversary invitations can be formal or casual. They can include the dates of the marriage on the top, a photograph of the couple now or when they were married, they can be simple or wildly creative. The invitation and anniversary party should reflect the couple and their lifestyle. It can reflect their love of nature, the era in which they met, or be a duplicate of their wedding day. It´s a wonderful time to celebrate the many years they have been together.
