I posted this in the retirement thread by accident. Oops!
I’ve never seen “no boxed gifts,” but I would think that would mean please don’t bring something that we have to figure out how to get home. I know when I was younger I didn’t think/know to send the gift directly to the home beforehand, but with Amazon now I think most people would get that and it wouldn’t be such a problem At ds1’s wedding, I think there were seven or eight gifts her parents, who had a car, had to transport.
