giving gifts for second marriage to same individual
I am marrying my ex. He's from KY and I'm from WI and when we married the first time it was in KY with his family. My family threw us an outdoor, extremely causal, reception at which we recieved gifts. My dad would like us to include in the invitation something about gifts being optional. I prefer to do the optional vs the no gifts as I don't want to offend anyone who wants to get us gifts but I also don't want anyone to feel obligated to give us a gift. We want everyone to come and have a good time and we aren't concerned about gifts. We are doing a smaller wedding but here in WI. I know it's not proper etiquette but would appreciate any help with wording options. Thank you

Dear Sprout,
I commend you on not wanting gifts, but it isn't proper to mention them in the invitation. So, just let people know about your wishes verbally.
