How do you say no presents nicely?

Politely request no gifts on the birthday party invitation. Write your request for no gifts on the invitation, in simple, direct language. Here are some examples: “Your presence is the perfect gift, please no things!”

How do you tell someone not to give you a gift?

Thank them politely for the gift personally and tell them that you are happy that they came, go place the gift away from the eyes of your other guests. If they ask you why you are not opening the gift, you can tell them that you will open it later because you don’t want the others to feel bad for not bringing one.

Is it rude to say no gifts please?

So if no gifts are expected at your party, it’s pretty much necessary to say so. And if you are the recipient of an invitation asking you not to bring a gift, it’s polite to honor the wishes of the host. Don’t bring a gift. In this case, doing so is impolite.

How do you ask for donations instead of birthday gifts?

‘In Lieu of Gifts’ Wording for a Birthday Party

“You all know how much [charity/issue] means to me.
“It may be my birthday, but [charity] needs donations much more than I need gifts!”
“We all know I buy myself enough gifts already.
“Gifts aren’t necessary, but help with this big party would be nice…”

Is it rude to decline a gift?

If it’s a money-gift it’s totally fine to decline. Like if I helped someone with something and they want to give me money in return, I can easily decline without it being rude. If it’s an actual gift they bought, it’s likely useless for them, so you should probably just take it.
