Hello, my sister-in-law is haveing a baby girl and ...

Help us out with less to clean

Do not wrap gifts let's go green

If you MUST do such a thing, then lirpa79 gave you a good suggestion.

However, I shall point out that it is EXTREMELY RUDE to mention gifts on the invitation (wrapped or otherwise). An invitation should NEVER state what type of gifts are requested, where the honoree is registered, what dollar amount to spend or anything else of that nature.

I repeat, NEVER should any of that information be included on an invitation (or on an insert card); it is rude, tacky and ill-mannered to do so.

GIFTS are just that - gifts. Guests are NOT obliged to give a gift in order to attend a party (otherwise, said gift is nothing but an admission fee).

Furthermore, guests who CHOOSE to bring gifts are allowed to bring them in any manner or format in which they choose - wrapped, boxed, bagged, unwrapped, shrink wrapped, etcetera.

The ONLY say the recipient has in the matter is the words, 'Thank You,' which should be said to every person who brings a gift (and then followed by brief written notes of thanks mailed to each guest).

Period.

Babies are the gift of life and are brought into this world naked.  Please bring your gifts the same way and give a gift for life to be appreciated by all.  Please do not wrap your gifts!

Very nice way to phrase it.

However, the fact remains that it is still VERY RUDE to put ANY type of mention of gifts on ANY invitation!

That means weddings, showers, birthdays, anniversaries ... NO MENTION OF GIFTS IS EVER APPROPRIATE UNLESS TO SAY THAT THE HONOREE REQUESTS NO GIFTS (i.e., "Your presence is the only present.")
