When someone puts that on a wedding invitation, it's effectively saying, "you don't need to bring a gift". On the other hand, if they are a young, struggling couple, bring a gift of something that will help them get established.
If you choose to, present it discreetly to avoid embarrassment to other guests who did not do so and to avoid seeming to show off.
Bring a card or small token gift.
Unless the invitation or the person or people having the retirement party have requested not to bring gifts to the retirement party then you should bring a gift.
In the birthday invitation card you can put 'no gifts please.'
You should always follow the request of the host/hostess on the invitation. You could buy a nice card for the parents to welcome their new bundle of joy. If you know them very well then you could later send them a gift for the baby, but do not bring a gift to the party.I would send a gift seperately, a baby gift cake is a good option, they are practical and look stunning too, http://www.gifites.co.uk have a lovely range.
Set up a gift registry and put the details on the invitation.
Assuming you mean the invitation to Ann's birthday party, if you get her past the black heart you should receive an invitation in your mailbox sometime in Fall. Then show up at the Inn at the time marked on the invitation and be sure to bring your invitation(you might not need this but it's better to be safe then sorry) and a wrapped gift(this you will need if you want to get anywhere with Ann).
No, it does not mean the color of the evening is pink. It simply means that a girl wrote the invitation and she thought the pink ink was pretty. I think it also means it would be nice to bring flowers as the gift.
no
I got an invitation to the party.The meeting was by invitation-only. Send an invitation and see if she'll come.
When one receives an invitation that says 'by invitation only' this means that only those on the invitation list will be admitted to the event. One can't bring a guest along.
When an invitation requests no gifts then you do not bring a gift, but, if you like you could bring a card depending on what the occasion is for.Also you could give some money instead so then they can choose what they want to spend their money on
Sometimes. On a mailed invitation, if you are invited to bring a guest, the envelope will either say "John Doe & Guest" or the host will enclose a note notifying you that you can bring a date. In a more informal event, it depends on the method of invitation and type of event. Check with the host if you are unsure. If a mailed invitation is addressed to you and no guest is mentioned, you are invited alone.
