Invitation says "NO GIFTS" do I still get a gift?

My Aunt and Uncle's 40th wedding aniversary party is tonight at a bar. Its nothing fancy. The invite says NO GIFTS. Is there something cheap and quick I should pick up (card?, flowers?) or should I just skip the gift idea?

A card is great, its not really a gift, but it shows you care, you know?
Reply:Get a card, not a gift.





They probably have everything they need at that age and they do not want to clutter up the house with extra junk. Also, many people feel that if they come to something they must bring a gift so instead they just do not go. It probably is more important to your Aunt and Uncle that the whole family comes and they do not want anyone feeling bad for either not coming or bringing a cheap gift.
Reply:i've had one of these invitations before, but i still got a card. you dont have to buy anything but it would be a nice gesture if you did.
Reply:Just a card is fine. If you feel compelled to get them something, do a small gift card ($20 or so) that fits into the envelope, so it doesn't stand out as a gift if no one else gets them anything.
Reply:Respect their wishes and don't bring a gift to the party. It may embarrass them and make others uncomfortable that they didn't bring a gift. Maybe you can send flowers or a card the next day, and mentioned you had a good time (if you did.)
Reply:I would not take anything, if you bring something then others will feel as though they should have done the same. Mail a card or send flowers if you feel something more is needed. Hugs can go a long way and to let them know you are happy in your life. Take the time and pray for their continued happiness and thank God for what he has given them in their life.
Reply:Yup you always get a gift and if you see no gifts there you just don't bring in the gift.
Reply:I would'nt take a gift to the party, it may embarass those who did'nt, Maybe send some flowers to there home !
Reply:Send a gift tomorrow.
Reply:Just get a card, something sappy.
Reply:No gifts means no gifts. Just bring a card.
Reply:Cards or flowers are fine, but nothing major, like towels or hardware
Reply:A card. Just a card with your own words of celebration.
Reply:If they said "No Gifts" then a card is perfectly acceptable and the best way to show that you care. Just respect the "no gifts" thing - alot of people just want to spend time with those they love and really don't need or want stuff - especially once you hit 40. Gifts for family really should be restricted to those 18 and under or weddings, showers etc... unless you're especially close.
Reply:If you want, a card will do.
Reply:I would get a card for sure.
Reply:maybe a gag gift,or something to make everyone laugh, if its your relative and your close you can get them something and give it later.
Reply:When an invitation says "NO Gifts" they mean what they say. They are inviting you because they want to enjoy your company.
Reply:I'd take them at their word. If you bring a token and someone else doesn't, then that person may feel bad. Maybe bring a bottle of wine to the celebration for everyone to share if the situation is appropriate. Otherwise, I do as they request.
Reply:just be there for them. ur time is more than a present.
Reply:no gifts means no gifts, a card is fine
Reply:Nice little question,,,YES,, when it says not gifts ,, you have to stick to it,,, BUT,,, if you want to check with them twice or trice,, you had better visit them acouple days ahead,, and get to know the real meaning of it, or else,, if they in their conversation,, you happend to know that they are in need of something you get it for them i meant if it is within your budjet,, of course,,,,Cherrs!!!
Reply:no gifts they said
Reply:ask other family members what they are doing, maybe you all could put a lil money in 1 big gift or something.
Reply:I think a nice card would be fine. Skip the gift.
Reply:I would bring a card at most. They don't want to be juggling ten bouquets in the bar and on the way home. You could also ask them if there is a charity you could donate something to in their names (if you like them that much)
Reply:Always, always bring a gift EVEN IF the invitation says "No Gift". In which case, you walk in without your gift and if you see no gifts you are fine; if you see gifts you say, "oh I left mine in the car and go back and get it" so you are always covered and never embarrassed.





In this case, I think some type of framed family picture should do nicely
Reply:if it says no gifts then dont worry about the gift, for all they know u cudda given them a good gift. THEY miss out. but yeah a card or a bottle of champagne or a bunch of flowers would nice.
