I don't think it's proper to put anything on the invite- just have people spread the word.
Or, I've always liked:
Your presence not presents requested.
You're not looking for gifts at all? Or is that a polite way to ask for money (I'm serious- I don't know).
If you'd like to stay with your original sentiment, you could say:
Your well-wishes are present enough. No gifts, please.
If you're going with Miss Peeptoe's suggestion, you should add a couple of commas:
Your presence, not presents, requested.

I got an invite to a wedding that had a insert that said something like "in lieu of gifts...". Maybe dont write it on the actual invite. Include a little insert along with the reply card or reception card if you are doing those...
I love the : "Your presence is present enough."
But I agree - don't put it on the invite, spread the word verbally. Some people will still get you gifts and others won't. A wedding is a gift giving occassion, I don't think it's necessary to tell people whether or not they can give you a gift.

I agree with Humarock Bride. Don't include anything about the gifts in your invites. But if you're setting up a website, I'd think that you could include something small there.
And in the same vein Miss Peep Toe's suggestion, I've seen a couple of "Your presence is our present."

Some people are going to want to get you a present no matter what you put on the invite. So no matter what you include there, I would try to also spread the word about your no-gift desires by word-of-mouth. Another alternatives would be to "register" for charitable donations.
