Money Tree
I am the matron of honor in a friend`s wedding. I will be throwing a couples shower for the bride and groom, and she has requested that I put on the invitation that they do not want gifts, but rather there will be a money tree at the shower. I know that this is very improper, but I do not want to offend my friend. Should I just do it? I don`t want her family to think that I am being tacky!

As the Matron of Honor you need to talk to her if you are uncomfortable doing something. Maybe tell her that you have consulted a few books and they state that it not etiquette to do that. That you would feel much better telling them what your gift plans are. Tell her that if she isn`t registered, people will know to give her cash. If she still would like it done and you don`t want to do it, tell her parents and maybe they will do that.
