I have everything I need. I would like cash in lew of gifts. Is there a proper way to say this or should I just except another toaster I don't need. I would like the money for the Honey moon.
How do you word a wedding invitation requesting money and no gifts?
to request a gift of monetary or otherwise is never polite. i would suggest registering at a place where you can put in items that you can use for your honeymoon. luggage travel accessories etc.
Reply:In your case, you should consider having a "honeymoon registry." I'm not sure how they work exactly, but basically guests make a contribution into a registry account that goes toward your honeymoon expenses.
Although you are not really supposed to mention gifts or registries in the actual invitation, maybe you could sneak in a little blurb about it at the bottom of a card with your map/directions to the wedding.
Hope that helps... good luck!
Reply:Please send money.
Just kidding...I suggest you write something like this:
We would love to have you join us for our celebration. May we request that any wedding gift you may wish to offer be of a monetary nature in place of more traditional giving?
Word it any way you wish.
Happy marriage!
Reply:to be honest i dont think theres really a way to say that in an invitation without it sounding rude. sorry. if u do get gifts just return or sell them
Reply:Oh, that is a tough one. It is tacky to ask for money. There is probably a way to do that, but I am not sure what it is. Try asking a wedding planner if they know.
Reply:It is considered rude to ask for money instead of gifts. Perhaps your friends and family will be sensitive enough to realize that you need it, or they might ask what you'd like. I also recommend that you plan a honeymoon that's within your means -- it'll keep you out of debt for later.
I wish you a wonderful wedding and marriage!
Reply:You never ever ask for money or anything else! It is extremely rude to even assume you will be getting a gift. Of course, you will receive gifts, but don't ask for them. And just don't register. If people ask what you need, tell them you have everything you need. Then if the people have a brain, they will give you money. Many people do anyway even if a couple is registered.
You shouldn't expect to others to finance your honeymoon. If you can't pay for it on your own, choose a cheaper destination.
Happy wedding!
Reply:just say i'm a goldigger, money only please.
really tho, just say No gifts 'cause me and george already have everything we need from two households. peeps will give u $ anyway.
Reply:You don't--you just spread the word that your gift registry is your local bank....tacky
Reply:if i were you i would put it this way: it's not that i don't like your very genourous gifts but right now i could really use money to pay for the honeymoon. i hope this isn't to much to ask. thanks so much.
signed your name.
Reply:You don't! It is rude to assume that people are going to give you gifts or money of any kind. If you get something that you already have - return it. (When I got married I got five crock pots, three fondue pots, four toasters, etc. - I took them back and either got the money back or exchanged them for things I needed.)
What I am trying to say is - have some class.
Reply:do a wedding wishing well. u could say "as you are aware we already have most items needed for our home. This is the reason for us choosing a wedding wishing well"
Reply:"Please do not feel obligated to give a gift, but if you choose to do so, monetary gifts are appreciated."
I received two wedding invitations like that in the States, I don't remember the exact wordings but that's pretty much what it said and we understood they like to receive money.
In Chinese tradition it's very common you give money and in Germany they just write some kind of rhyming words like, we already have everything we need but if you wish to give us money we'll not going to say no. Well, it sounds much better in German lol
