Here’s what you say: My father has been blessed with everything he could ever want and has respectfully requested a potluck type birthday. Instead of gifts, cook up your most special dish. This would make him happier than anything material you could purchase at a store. (PS: only homeade dishes, nothing store-bought, we want it to be from your heart, even if you’re not a good cook, bring toast if that’s your specialty.

How about "No need to bring gifts, your presence is present enough"?

use something on the lines ‘our father has been gifted with a wonderful family and friends, your presence is the only gift necessary’

Just say "It’s only necessary to bring yourself & your good cheer"! Or maybe, " Your presence & your good cheer is all you need to bring, please join us in making the day special for ————, thank you!"

There is no way to say it any better than your idea.You know some people say they don’t want gifts but they really like them.The best way to have a Birthday (party) without gifts would have a Dinner to honor the person.At the Dinner you announce that it is his Birthday and you gave him what he wanted,Family and friends.When someone is honored gifts are not what people think of..Hope this helps.

How bout this…..Tell Mother to kiss your ass and that you are making the cards your way or she can do the party on her own.

My father is going to be so thrilled with your company and so busy chatting with each and every one of you that we know he would be chagrined if anything – such as opening gifts – interrupted his pleasure. So please, come with hands empty and arms open!
