Cash As Wedding Gift
What is the appropriate way to put in your wedding invite, that you are not registering-and that you would just like to recieve money as your gift for your wedding, without sounding rude or cheap?

I feel if people are going to give money then there going to give it but ...... Some people are old school and believe that a store bought gift is the only way to go . Come on now we all have those regifters in our family.
What you can do is don`t put it in your invitation but spread it word of mouth. Tell your bridesmaids, the mothers ,fathers, whatever. It`s not considered "tacky" if your not directly asking for it. These people are your guests ,not away to make money to pay your bills, a honeymoon or even a house.
Just remember it`s a day of celebration not a fundraiser.

Requesting money, or gifts, in a wedding invitation is never appropriate. The wedding invitiation is used simply to invite your guests to your wedding and should never contain registry information or requests for cash.
You would prefer to receive only money for your wedding, then don`t register. Your guests will get the hint without you having to do anything rude or tacky.
