We need suggestions for wording for first anniversary invitations.

In lieu of gifts, they want money. Second marriage for both. Both have kept a home for several years.

There are no words. That is just flat out tacky. You may say "no gifts" or you may say "in lieu of gifts, please consider a donation to the ASPCA," but you cannot say "give money." Two twice-married adults don't need gifts or cash prizes; that's just being greedy.

Traditionally, for a first anniversary, paper is the proper gift. Depending upon the location of the party, you could do something interesting, like a wishing well to collect cash.

The bride and groom look forward to combining their two homes into one. While gifts are greatly appreciated, a monetary gift would be of greatest use.
