I probably won't have any use for this information for at least another year,
but I'll ask now:  what is the preferred way of stating in a wedding
invitation that you've got all the teapots, serving trays, plates and cutlery
you need but that people who insist on giving gifts anyway are more than
welcome to send a check to Oxfam or some other charitable organization?  And
would it be overdoing it to include some Oxfam literature and/or a
pre-addressed envelope?

(Oxfam, by the way, is one of the best famine relief and Third-World
development outfits around.)

Please send responses to me and I'll summarize.
