Asking For Money???
Me and my husband just got married a week ago. We did want money for presents since we were paying for our wedding and honeymoon ourselves. We had lived together and didn`t need to register. So we took the advice of those who said "don`t ask for money, if you say you aren`t registered anywhere then the people will know and give you money." Well you all were wrong and I am so upset I listened to your bad advice.
So to all those brides who just want money to help pay for extra expenses, then just let your friends and family somehow know. You could put in an extra insert in the invitation envelope saying tactfully money accepted. If you want money than just say it. I wish I did!!!

Well, if you asked for money you may have gotten what you wanted. You also would have been tacky. You could very well have offended people as well, but you sound really selfish, so I`m sorry your wedding ended up being more about the actual presents and less about the thoughts of people with good intentions.

Well, I agree and dissagree. I think it does look bad to ask for money as a gift. But, after all is your wedding. You are the only person that know what you want than other people. I know it`s the thought that counts, but some times you already have too much stuff at home and money comes in handy. I guess we have to respect every ones decision even if i`s tacky I know, BUT hey, it`s her wedding!!!!!
