Is it greedy?

This is a very hot topic here.

I think you should spread the word vocally, but not print anything about gifts. Gifts are offered, not required, and it might touch some people in a bad way.

I would say it is more inappropriate than greedy... if that makes sense. i understand where you are coming from, but a gift is a gift... so first it sounds like you are expecting / requiring them... and then it sounds like, "hey we just want money." i would not say anything officially... agree with Erica - to just 'get the word out' unofficially. ;o)

Inappropriate and basically rude. No mention of gifts should happen anywhere but at the shower, and even then, specifying money is tacky.

The fact that you haven't registered will probably act as a good clue.

You guys are right..Thanks for the advice..; )

If I were you, I'd hide this post soon. It might blow up. Seriously.

Definitely wouldn't include that. Hopefully word will get around. Not everyone feels comfortable giving money.

Ppl think its rude. Personally, you know your guests well. Weddingwire doesn't. I know my family and friends very well and it won't be a big deal. I am placing that on my wedding website and word of mouth as well.

Ultimately it's your decision. But ppl on here get really hot about it. Lol

Just let them know how you intend to spend it. Whether saving for a home etc.

Your presence is present enough,

but if you would like to give a gift, 

cash gifts would be greatly appreciated. 

Or

As we have been sharing a home for some time

we have decided not to have a traditional gift list.

Instead we are asking for contributions to our

married life together in the form of [xxx] gift vouchers.

You can purchase these online, by phone or

in store in person. Thank you

Usually when you don't have a registry people just put money in a card since they don't know what else to get you. So just don't mention a registry and you will most likely get money

Hahahahh @Erica. Yes girl. I've read horror posts like this. Like OMG. Calm down. Heheh hilarious.

Not registering should clue people in.

All im going to say is i'm glad you asked this question.

I used simple registry. They send the cash value for the gift to you so you can either buy the item yourself or keep the money for something else.

On our invites we made no mention of gifts whatsoever. We have been living together for six years so I feel people should get the hint. When people have asked we said we would prefer money however they can get whatever they want to get.

If the majority of your family and friends know your living situation, it's implied and goes without saying, especially if you don't register anywhere.

I'm a firm believer in not saying anything about gifts, monetary or otherwise, at all in your invitation. We included an "Accommodations Card" with our venue information, as well as a link to our website. On our website, we had a page with our registries on it but we never said anything about wanting money.

We received 98% of our wedding gifts in cash or check without saying a word. Most people will go with a monetary gift anyhow because frankly, it's much easier than shopping for and wrapping an actual gift!

I would definitely do a search on this, I'm sure there's thousands of topics on it. What we might consider doing is making one very small 10 or so items on a registry and let word of mouth go that we are planning to buy a house instead.
