Is it tacky to ask for Cash? I always thought so.

It is always tacky to ask for cash.

Tacky. Don't do it.

Thank you @anneH. Like minded Brides!

Yes, it is always tacky, but so far we didn't have a honeymoon, cash registry or "how do I ask for cash post" today, so thank you for the public service.

Ok...That kinda confused me @Celia

Nope, don't do it. Your instincts are right that it's not cool. Keep the registry small.

This literally comes up every single day and the results are the same; 90% of the responders tell the person who thinks Honeyfund is going to send them on a zip line tour that not only will that not happen, but that Honeyfund will take a percentage of the money. And not to do it. Then the other three people who post tell them that this is just fine, that they have 'everything they would ever need!!!!" and all they want is cash.

You don't ask for cash. In any way. In crayon, in hieroglyphics, in poetry, in song, in flat out demands. You just don't. It's rude, it's crass, and if you want to be really technical about it, it's tacky and entitled to address expected gifts in any way, regarding a wedding. Registries make it easier for guests to 'shower'' the honored with gifts to start her or his married life, but honestly even that's a little weird when you consider that most people live together and have households when they get married. But that's another thread.

There is nothing cute about being rude. Adults know how to give cash to other adults. They buy a card and slip a check or a Benjamin into it. Easy peasy.

Yes it's tacky. Do a small registry or no registry and your guests will get the hint. Even if you feel you have everything you need, simple things around the house can always be upgraded.

@OliviaP it was just suggested to me and I respectfully declined. Reading an invite that requests cash turns me off of even attending sometimes.

Ugh no. Just don't have a registry or a very small one and your guests will get the hint!

My apologies @Celia. I don't look at the post every day.

OP, you can search for posts, though...

Always tacky

There's no cute way to ask for cash. Poems make it even worse.

Hieroglyphics might be cool tho...lol

If you have to ask if it's tacky or rude, chances are it's tacky or rude.

Asking for cash??? Very rude.

Tacky no matter how its phrased

But really, can I just say how fabulous it is to see this thread today. I had to unfollow "The Wedding Connection" on Facebook last night after a whole fleet of rude-ass bride-to-be's all ganged up on me that I'm a snobby, "stuck in the 80's" bridezilla with my "head stuck so far up my own ass with my backwards traditions" and my "holier than thou attitude" because I commented on a post that it's rude to ask for money, even with a cute poem. Thank goodness for WW. I can't take these tacky crockpot weenie ladies.

It's tacky. Just don't do a registry. People will either ensure their gifts have gift receipts or give you cash. But "requesting" it is very rude.

Just make a small registry for upgrades. People will give cash if they want but don't ask for it.
