I know you've said in the previous posts that you shouldn't put specific requests on the invitation for gifts. However, my fiance and I would really only like to receive gift cards/certificates or cash as gifts. Would it be appropriate to say "Gift certificates/cash are most welcome from those of you giving gifts." ? Also, is it appropriate to specify the dress attire for the event on the invitation? Thanks so much.
No, it would not be apropriate to tell your guests which gift to purchase for you since invitations are not a plea for a gift and should never be considered so.

The Wedding Queen is absolutely correct about gift requests. The best way for couples to 'get the word out' is through 'word of mouth' of friends and family.
You may not state attire requests on the invitation. But if you are enclosing reception cards, the request could be mentioned on them.
Thanks for the advice. I guess people will just decide on their own if and what to give. I know if I received an invitation, I would appreciate if someone specified what they wanted, but I am obviously not an expert on this matter. Is it ok print the expected dress attire on the invitation?
