asking for money
Does anyone know any perfect 'non tacky' way to ask for money on a wedding invitation???? Cause thats whaT I want lolExamples::; “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.

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

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

Re: asking for money
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?

Re: asking for money
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)

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.
