cash as a wedding gift

Hi, Ana. Did you know that "Ana" is an acronym for Anorexia? Did you eat today honey?

Wow... thanks for the positive response to the ones that know how to respond. For the others get a life and don't be so negative. Have a great day !

@BringOnMay! Not all honeyfunds are designed this way. Flightcentre.ca does not take a cut; but that could be in line with Canada's rules for gift certificates - where they have to be treated like cash and must be treated at face value.

"Gift Card Legislation for Canada

The popularity of gift cards in Canada is on the rise, with spending reaching around $6 billion annually. This is due in large part to the legislation passed by local government. The regulations vary slightly by province, but are designed to prevent gift card issuers from charging fees and imposing expiry dates. "

@Sue - You had no idea what to get them? A card with a check in it didn't occur to you?

Right @purplekitten - how can you not know what to get someone for a wedding gift?

No. You can't ask for cash ever. Sorry.

Uh, Lively? "Ana" is also a name? Assuming she's got an eating disorder is rushing to judgement a bit, don't you think?

@purplekitten OH RIGHT I must be dumb to not have thought of that, thank you. Of course I thought of that, and that would have been my gift to them if they hadn't registered.

I left this suggestion to another bride a couple weeks ago...perhaps you can use it. Bye troll.

Guys, this is what happens when people post a thread asking for trolls.

OP, assuming you're not a troll: people realize that other people like getting cash. It's not exactly a big secret. I think making a small registry is better because some people honestly aren't comfortable giving cash, and this way there are some options. But people aren't going to be like "Oh she didn't register, clearly that means she wants me to buy her whatever set of plates I like best." Everyone knows that people like cash.

Don't do a honeymoon registry. For one, many take a cut. And they are actually asking for cash because your guests aren't actually "gifting" you a hotel stay or whatever it is. You just get a nice fat check at the end of it and that's it. So they're deceptive in that way.

And, again, people know that people want cash.

Emmy cat meme to the rescue!!

How is that so different from this?

In my opinion, it's the same. If you don't agree that's fine, you don't have to be rude about it.

^eye roll.

Do a very small gift registry and if anyone ask what you want then you can tell the monetary gifts or gifts card. That's what I am doing and it is working well for my family and friends.

Do the world of WW a favor and just hide this post and act like you never open this ridiculous can of worms!!!!

DO NOT ASK FOR CASH!!!!!!!

End of story!

I think even if you didn't say anything at all, most people would just give you cash. And if people go to the store and buy you something you already have, you can always return it and exchange it for something you need. No one has EVERYTHING.

I wouldn't do a registry at all, people will get the hint.

For the record, because I hate people who just want cash, if there is no registry I buy wine a fancy wine opener. Fuck giving cash. That requires no effort and people won't use it for anything good. It becomes spending money for whatever nothing special

Haha now I get why you say this is a controversial topic!

I always give a gift (from registry) at the shower and money as a wedding gift, but if money were asked of me I'd probably give less
