No, actually when some people say no gifts, they mean no gifts. I heard about this one couple getting married and my friend was “insulted” because her invitation said no gifts. She took it to mean that she wasn’t thought of as a good gift giver. She got mad and ranted to other people that knew the couple. After she took a fancier than normal gift for the couple she realized they really didn’t want gifts. She then got embarrassed.



Wow, does this friend always make everything about her? An invitation was sent to all with “no gifts” on it and she immediately thinks the couple was making a specific statement about her?

I would do the donation thing. It benefits people who are not so fortunate to be set up in not only one home, but multiple homes. At the same time, you are both honoring your friends, and respecting their wishes.
