Third marriage for groom, first for bride, what's the etiquette
I want her to have her dream wedding. She comes from a very large family. I'm not sure what rules there are as far as my role. Can I have different invitations for my side stating that I just want my friends and family there but I don't want gifts from them or is that even necessary? I want this to be her day and I want her to feel like its the same as if I was never married before. I am 44 and she is 31. I am nervous about looking insincere. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Dear Stewy,
Don't worry. This is the first wedding for you two together. So, those who have never given a gift for her will. Those who gave to you before choose if they wish to give again. But, we cannot mention gifts on our invitations.
You could let it be known that you are not interested in gifts from your side of the family. This you would do verbally.
