Golden wedding - no gifts wording

[GoofyIsACow]

My parents’ golden wedding is later this year and they would like to specify no gifts on their invite. I don’t want anything too much but no gifts thank you sounds too abrupt to me! Googling hasn’t just found me exactly what i am after either!
Does anyone have any suggestions please?

No presents just your presence would be very much appreciated?

Is their a charity close to their hearts?
Suggesting a donation in lieu of gifts might go down better as most people will naturally want to give something, even if just a token.

Unless you want the guests to cringe their arseholes inside out, please for the love of God do not use this!! 😱😂

Thank you @Lollypop701 that might work.
@SausageRoll2020 I think this is a good idea and my dad did suggest this, i like the idea as they do have a specific charity but mum is less keen to put it on the invite for some reason. I might mock it up both ways and let them decide!

I'd go with something like "After all these years together we have everything we need, so please don't feel the need to bring gifts".

I e been invited to a wedding where the invitation said that they already felt blessed and wanted their marriage to be a blessing to others so asked for donations to 3 different charities. Couple were involved in church so this might not work for your parents but it was nice to have the option if 3 charities do you could choose the one that had the most meaning to you

How about something along the lines of 'You are all so special to us, we would appreciate gifts of sharing memories and photographs of our lives together, please contact x who is putting together a scrapbook' then you are enabling people to give something, but without asking for something monetary. But it does mean someone has to co-ordinate

They are lovely ideas! The charity ones are great and I think would work, i love the photo idea CMOT, i might ask them what they think of that.
