My husband & I are having our marriage blessed in the church. We were married at the court house the first time. We are planning to invite only our immediate families and closest friends to the service. My question has to do with how to address the fact that we do not want them to give us any gifts. Also we are not planning to have a reception after the ceremony. How do we address this also? Thanks for your help!

Dear Blessed,
It is proper to write, "please no gifts" on this type of invitation. It isn't a wedding, so this is fine. Plus, a reception is not always expected for this ceremony. So, you don't have to mention it. Just thank your guests for sharing the moment with you.
