asking for money

Does anyone know any perfect 'non tacky' way to ask for money on a wedding invitation???? Cause thats whaT I want lol

Examples::; “Cash is appreciated, too” or “Feel free to send a money gift, instead” on the portion of your invitation that provides registry information. Keep away from forceful or formal wording like “please bring a money gift” or “we will accept checks.” It’s your wedding, not a business transaction.

maybe something like 'monetary gifts preferred'. but yeah...you cant ask for money.

maybe word of mouth. tell one person and let them spread the word!

Yeah, word of mouth is best. And on Long Island, most people give money anyway so unless you have lots of family coming from out of state I wouldn't worry too much

Its tacky no way around it but I do think most people will probably give money.

I think most people give money. I've never seen gifts at a wedding... That's what showers are for.

monetary gifts are preferred, is what a lot of people have told me to put.

Bottom line is that it is tacky to ask for cash. Folks are offended by the 'No Boxed Gifts' note on invites. Don't have a registry or set up a honeymoon registry that will pay for specific things.

I feel like I've never been to a wedding on Long Island where a person actually brings a gift?

Any way you put it it is tacky. You don't have a wedding for gifts. If I got an invitation that said anything about cash or money preferred I would make sure I bring a boxed gift (and I always gift cash)

I know it sounds so tacky!! Lol

Personally, I wouldn't write it on the invite. I feel like if they do give a gift it would be from your registry. At least you would be getting something you needed.

Def this! If ppl ask just let them know $$ is preferred but I would't write that on the invite.

I personally do not think there is anyway to request people give a monetary gifts. Guest are not obligated to give a gift.
