Help!! The Only Gifts That We Need Is Cash

I am getting married on oct 5 of this year. My fiance and i are having a small wedding of about 30 people. We already live together and have everything we need as far as dishes and etc. What we would like to receive is money as our wedding gift. What kind of wording should i use on the invitations. I don`t want to be rude.
Thank you.

Polite hosts don`t tell guests to bring a gift, let alone tell them what to bring. If someone asks you directly what you want, you could mention how you have everything, and maybe the person will see where you are leading. It is never appropriate to ask for cash. To the person who said that people who don`t agree should not write in--how can you hope to really hear what typical "guests" think, if you only want those who agree with you to respond?

You don`t mention gifts on your invitiations. You don`t mention gifts at all, unless they ask you. Spread the word around to your CLOSE family and bridesmaids. That`s who most guests ask when they want to get an idea for a gift.
