Dear Queenie,
My son has been married and divorced and now he is going to marry a woman who has never been married before.
Queenie, what should I say to people we invite to the wedding who also came to his first wedding and gave him gifts then? Should I put some kind of note like “No gifts, please” on the invitations to them?—Wedding invitation Etty Ket
Dear Etty Ket,
It is not good to put any such instruction on a wedding invitation (except possibly a request to donate to a certain charity instead of giving a gift). Some of your friends will want to give your son something in honour of his new marriage and some will not. Let them decide for themselves.
