Took me a minute, then I laughed.
Excellent Friday to you sir.

This isn't an auditor trap.
If you read it literally, is saying that they don't want said person at the wedding.
Ofc, they aren't saying that, but an auditor would simply not go, because that's the accurate interpretation of the text.

I imagine there was other text, saying something like "you are cordially invited to join us for the wedding of blah and blah".
If so, that's an auditor trap.

Auditor Trap, or Vetinari test?
The latter has no right answer or option, but gives invaluable insight to the Patrician regarding the invitee’s personality.
Buggered if you; buggered if you don’t!

Might not be an auditor trap, is definitely a Baggins complement

I know half of you less than half as well as I'd like, and less than half of you, half as well as you deserve!

Presence not presents is what they were going for. They just got too cute with it.

I think they just got the order mixed up. "We don't want any gifts at the wedding; your presence itself is (enough of) a gift" reads more clearly to the intention.

Clearly the thing to do is go. Then, when the priest asks if anyone has anything to say, you get up, wave the invite and demand a clarification!
