Jeff Bezos, Lauren Sánchez’s Wedding Invite Reveals Gift to Guests

Jeff Bezos and his fiancée Lauren Sánchez are doing away with one major wedding tradition.

As the couple gear up to exchange vows in Venice, Italy, they’ve given their guests specific instructions for the extravagant affair, according to a copy of their wedding invitation obtained by E! News.

“We are excited for you to join us,” the invitation read. “We have one early request: please, no gifts.”

In lieu of accepting presents, the pair—who got engaged in 2023 after making their relationship public in 2019—said they would be contributing to local causes in their loved ones’ honor to thank them “for making the journey” to the destination wedding.

“Donations on your behalf are being made to the UNESCO Venice Office to safeguard this city’s irreplaceable cultural heritage,” the invite continued, “to CORILA to restore the vital lagoon habitats that protect Venice’s future, and to Venice International University to support research and education for sustainable solutions.”
