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.
Natalya

Come on people- there is no difference between asking for cash, then to register for gifts. Either way you are asking your guests to spend money! Which is not what it should be about.

Not to come across b*tchy but most people who are invited to a wedding bring a gift or money. Even if it is asked of them not to they do anyways. They want to give a gift because they want to. When you send a ivitation does it say anywhere is it to BRING A GIFT OR MONEY? NO it does not, it ask people to come to celebrate the union of two people who love each other. So E I think that the post that Natalya was posting is a good request.
So in you asking about wording, its very hard to say. Myself I am having the same problem because me and my fiance have been together for 3 yrs. And have purchased a home and everything we need.
One way is to ask that no gift is required but It probably won`t help.
Just my say :)

There are many new types of registries out there. We have a honeymoon registry on our website. Check into something that you really want, and find a registry for it. Then, you should advise people via word of mouth where you are registered.

I would suggest not mentioning you want money in the invitation. That`s kind of tacky. If people ask you then you can say that you would really prefer money. There`s nothing wrong with that but let them ask you. Don`t put it in the invitation. The question you need to ask yourself is, what would you think if you were invited to a wedding and in the invitation they said "we would like money for a gift"
