Wedding Wednesday – Can I Request Cash in Lieu of Gifts at a Wedding?

Wedding Wednesday

Your Wedding Wednesday Question:

Is there a polite way to request cash in lieu of more traditional gifts at a wedding?

Answer:

The use of the word “gifts” can be taken two ways within wedding etiquette. If you mention gifts on your invitation, it can come across as that’s all you care about. On the other hand, some people would love knowing exactly what to get you. You may be a couple that have lived on your own for sometime and have already acquired items for the home. The easiest way to ask for money is by word of mouth. Let parents, close family members and friends know what you would prefer money. You could also opt for a honeymoon or cash registry. Still, people will buy gifts, so be sure to register.
