We recently attended our friend's golden wedding anniversary and all guests were asked to not bring any gifts at all. But as one of the happy couple had had a serious health scare, they suggested that donations could be made to the charity that had supported them during his illness. They subsequently received a lovely letter from the charity, thanking them, and their guests, for their support. Happy couple were really pleased and didn't have a load more "stuff" to find a place for!
