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.

I, too, am in a similar situation. I think one tactic may be to specify what you need the money for. If it`s a house downpayment, remodel or something like that, I think many guests would respond favorably. If you`re only going to have 30 guests, they probably know you well and would be glad to help out. This is especially true of the traditional big gift givers -- parents, in-laws and so on.

Here is a suggestion:

"Wishing Well to be provided at reception."

Plain and not demanding. It gives a little hint. Make it into a little 2"x2" card like they do for department store registrys.

PS~~~you`ll probably see Sarah or Chris or Lynn explode on this suggestion.
