The best way to ask for cash gifts?

Oh noooo

Oy. Don't. If you don't register, people will get the point.

ETA: you might want to lurk a bit on the forum. This question gets asked at least once a day and the response is the same every time. You're not gonna like the robust response of "NO" but just know we all see this question a billion times and every time we think it's tacky.

Don't.

There is no polite way to ask for cash, just as there is no polite way to ask for any other mind of gift.

It's great that you don't think it is distasteful, but what counts is what your guests will think. No one should ever assume that guests will be giving them gifts.

If you have a registry, that information can be added to a shower invitation as showers are all about gifts. You can also include registry information on your website. If you don't want physical gifts, don't register for them.

People will give you cash whether you ask for it or not.

Don't make a registry and don't ask outright.

Please don't do this. Asking for money is always rude. Part of the reason being that you're automatically assuming that you're getting a gift.

Just don't register. People will get the hint (you don't even have to tell them) and give cash.

Seriously look around on the forum there's posts about this everyday and there was even one this morning. It's beyond rude and tacky. Nobody on here will support asking for money no matter how its presented or what it's for. Just don't do it.

Don't go on these forum asking about this topic. No one agrees that it's a good idea.

Just dont register anywhere and people will bring cards and/or cash. When people have asked me where i registered, i said nowhere and they automatically knew i would have a wishing well.

Don't. Just don't register.

I'm making an international move after the wedding and literally cannot afford to ship 100+ gifts overseas (I'm not even shipping my personal belongings). We're still not asking for cash - we're just not registering.

This has been asked and answered way too much. To simply answer your question, don't ask for money. End of topic.

You didn't think it was distasteful... but by stating that, you clearly are aware that it could be perceived as distasteful by your invited guests. Why would you want to knowingly do something that was in poor taste? Don't request cash, and definitely don't put that on your invitations. Just make a small registry, or don't register at all. People will get the hint.

I did not and I would never do this. Asking for money is tacky, no matter how you put it.

All of your guests are already aware that money would make a great gift. They do not need the suggestion. Either don't register at all or only make a small gift registry and your guests will get the hint that there aren't a lot of other things to consider getting, if they're considering getting you a gift.

You don't ask for cash. Ever.

And you lurk a little bit in the forums because this comes up four times a week.

Stoppit.

Cute poems don't make it okay to ask for money.

Don't it's that simple!!! No cute poem or fancy wording makes this appropriate!!

Here we go again....It's rude to ask for money just do a super small registry and people will get the hint.
