Cash May Be The Wedding Gift Of Choice

Asking for cash as a wedding gift can be touchy, particularly when it comes to etiquette-conscious or older guests, who may not feel comfortable giving anything other than a traditional wedding gift.

However, careful wording, wedding-themed gift cards and strictly cash registries can help most wedding guests feel comfortable giving cash as a gift.

The website, www.ehow.com suggests that couples set up a wishing well at the shower, a nicely-decorated cardboard container into which guests can easily and discreetly drop cash or checks. Specific advice said that couples should make sure that the slot or opening in the wishing well is big enough to fit a card in case guests enclose their monetary gift in one.

They also said to mention the wishing well in the shower invitations.

Bur, since it is generally considered bad etiquette to ask for cash as a wedding or wedding shower gift, veil the request for cash in a short poem, for example: "We hope you can make it to the party, that would really be swell/Soon enough, we'll be hearing wedding bells/We don't need much for the place where we'll dwell/So please, feel free to donate to our wishing well!"

Also, they said that couples should list in the shower invitations stores to which the couple wouldn't mind receiving gift cards.

They function like cash at specific stores, and many stores carry wedding-themed gift cards, which guests might prefer to give.
