Is there a nice way to put 'no gifts' with your invitation? Poems?

My friend is getting married in Iowa. It's both of their 2nd marriages. They aren't registering and don't want gifts. Is there a poem or anything that they can put with the invitations without looking tacky?

I think I have read that it is bad form to put that on an invite. Try for word of mouth with the no gifts thing. But people will still probably want to get them something for the big day.

They don't want to put it on the invite. Their wedding is informal anyway. They were wondering about putting it in the envelope.

I do like 'your presence is present enough'
