Cash Wedding GiftsA lot of couples today would prefer getting cash wedding gifts, but politely and gracefully asking this of their invited guests can get kind of tricky. Couples are getting married later and often have already set up everything they need for their house a couple of years before even setting the wedding date.There are even websites today that let guests contribute cash wedding gifts that help fund the new couple's honeymoon.
Cash however would help couples start saving to get a larger apartment or put a downpayment on a house, but most couples haven't thought of a polite way to outright ask for money. But there are some serious considerations when thinking about outright asking for cash wedding gifts let alone any gifts at all.
How your guests could react Even writing "cash wedding gifts preferred" or anything that has to do with gifts at all on wedding invitations is against wedding etiquette as, again guests may think they're being asked to pay for their attendance. Get family and friends to spread the word So even though they are registered with a department store registry, it alleviates possibly offending anyone by giving guests the option. Some guests may feel perfectly comfortable with writing out a check or putting some green bills in a wedding card, while others may put some cash in a card while still purchasing a traditional gift from the registry for the couple to unwrap. Set up a wedding website This is a very subtle way to include something about gifts without offending anyone. Links to the gift registries can be included on the site as well as some of the wishes of the bride and groom for what they would be spending any cash gifts on. There are also some banks and credit unions that now assist couples by collecting cash gifts. Check your local area to see what's available and be sure to ask about any restrictions, start up or transaction fees that may be involved. As always, be realistic and hold on to your common sense. If you're going to be asking for cash wedding gifts because you really need the money, you don't want to host a $50,000 event and then try and claim you're broke afterward.
