cash as a wedding gift

Create a small registry. Guests should get the hint that way.

If you don't register anymore they will get the hint. This is a touchy topic just to warn you.

Jesus... whats with all the trolls today... NO do not ask your guests for cash gifts it is so RUDE

Don't even create a registry. Unless you want one, and if so keep it small.

Have your mother hint at cash in conversation with guests. my mother said she's really been doing that when she chats with family about the wedding.

Oh for fucks sake.

ETA: Ana Serene is that you?

I picked a good day to check in obviously. Or maybe I'm the troll???

Have a small registry...people will get the hint. Also, for your own sanity, hide this thread. Now.

Really? You already have EVERYTHING?

I did not create a registry and we told our parents and siblings that we wanted cash as wedding presents and they mentioned it to the rest of the family if they asked.

It's also common in my family to give cash as gifts, so it wasn't a big issue.

It's rude to ask your guests for cash as wedding gifts, but there are ways you can give hints that aren't rude.

Small registry or none. You can't ask for cash.

Oy.

Have a honeyfund, some places take a cut and some don't. FH and I registered with Flightcenter.ca and they don't take a cut, which is pretty sweet. I'm of the opinion that honey fund registry, or a store registry is the same thing - money is money. Whether you ask your guests to spend $70 on a blender or contribute a financial amount of their choice to your honeymoon - it's the same. And no matter what it's an option for your guests, just because you registered at a store they don't have to get you something from that registry, and just because you registered via honey fund does not mean that they have to contribute to your honeymoon.

It's another Ana!

No. Don't have a fucking honeyfund. - oh i know, go start a go fund me. stop it.

Don't register, or have small registry. If people ask where you're registered or what you want as a wedding gift, tell them 'oh well we're really set on everything, we're just saving up for new furniture [or a big honeymoon, or whatever], but really we have everything we need." They'll get the hint. Let your parents and bridal party know so they can also delicately spread the word. Do not ask for cash directly/indirectly/by poem on your invitations or website.

What the fuck is in the WW water today. I know it's Wednesday but fuck...

There is a discussion on this about once a week. Don't make a registry or make a small one. Don't actually ask for cash or set up a honeyfund or honeymoon registry.

Don't ask your guests to essentially pay for the honor of watching you get married. That's just rude.

@Emmy How trite.

Personally as a guest I was relieved when my friends registered through a honeyfund, I had no idea what to get them - they've lived together forever and have all the household items that they needed at that time. Also, I enjoyed the fact that I was able to contribute to them having a wonderful honeymoon. To me it didn't feel like giving them money, it felt like contributing to an experience.

Sue, you do realize that when you give someone money through a honeyfund they don't get 100% of the money, right?
