Special lines to add
Some things are awkward to say and still need saying: no gifts, limited seats, a party without children. One kind line, placed at the end of the invitation, does it. Tap Copy on any line below and paste it into your message or card.
No gifts, please
- Your presence is the only present we need.
- No gifts, please. Just bring your blessings.
- Please, no boxed gifts. Your good wishes are enough for us.
- कृपया कोई उपहार न लाएँ। आपका आशीर्वाद ही हमारा उपहार है।
- केवल आशीर्वाद, कोई भेंट नहीं।
Only the named guests
- We have reserved two seats in your honour.
- Because of limited space, we are able to host only the guests named on this invitation. Thank you for understanding.
- This is a small gathering of close family and friends, and we are so glad you are part of it.
Adults only
- We love your little ones, but this evening is for grown-ups only.
- To let all parents relax, this will be an adults-only celebration.
Children welcome
- Children are most welcome. There will be a play corner for them.
- Bring the whole family. The more children, the merrier.

How to use these lines well
- Use one or two special lines, not five. A list of rules makes an invitation feel like a notice.
- Put them at the end, after the date, time and venue.
- Say the difficult ones in person too. A line about "adults only" lands softer after a friendly phone call.
- Never ask for money or a specific gift in the invitation.
