What do you say when an invitation says no gifts?

If possible (it often isn't), try to open any gift in front of the giver so you can thank the giver in person. However, if anyone might see you, and someone usually will, wait and open the gift after the party. Make sure to send a thank you card within a week. The sooner you do, the more sincere your sentiments.
