Is it ok to say "no gifts" on a party invitation?

I'll be celebrating a significant birthday soon and am organising a party. I want to have friends and family attend without them feeling an obligation to buy a present, particularly as many will have to pay to travel to the event, but I worry that writing "no gifts" on the invitation sounds presumptuous. Is there any way around this? I don't want to request charity donations either, I'd just prefer them to not have to shell out any extra money.

I'm always delighted when someone says no gifts on an invite. Gift equals hassle. Happy days 😄

Yes of course. We stated that on our wedding invitations. Everyone happily obliged

I asked that no gifts were brought to my late husband's 70th birthday celebration. Some came from 60 miles away, their presence was all I wanted.. Some did others didn't.
