Melissa has a spectacular aura about
I think if it's close family, there is nothing wrong with being honest about what you want, especially when it has to do with something like a course. Most family members will want to support you and offer something that you will use rather than something that sits and collects dust. What I do in such cases, and tell my mom about it. And she spreads the word without it sounding rude. For example, when my aunt calls she'll say, well i know Melissa really wants to take this EMT course and could use help paying for it. I wouldn't necessarily put it in the invitation but through word of mouth or if they ask I would mention it.
