Wedding gifts - Is it cheeky..

Jump to newest

to suggest for guest to contribute towards the cost of the wedding?

Ive a friend who's getting married, they live together and arent wanting a honeymoon as such, just a family holiday camping with the kids

People have gift lists and things or suggest travel agent vouchers but in my friends case just feel like the only thing she'd prefer is some financial help with the wedding. Its by no means a lavish affair, she works hard and think the whole thing is 2 grand.

For clarification she would never in a million years actually ask people for money.. but would it be frowned upon if that was suggested as a gift idea?

Yeah this often happens in Asian weddings. I think it is good idea and makes sense

Yes can't see the harm, although if you take a look at my thread in stories about giving the bride away, you'll see a present comes in all shapes and forms x

How is she going to go about asking for a contribution if she's not going to ask for money

i dont think so, people ask for vouchers for their honeymoon etc.

In this day and age of the credit crunch and recession etc i think its a great idea.

I watched a superscrimpers once where the couple got their friends involved in making the food and decorations for their wedding.

I think it's a fantastic idea as long as they allow guest to choose the amount they give and not set an amount.

Much better than presents they mat not need or want.

we were just talking and i thought about the idea.. but i know she wouldnt be comfortable with t hat idea of asking for anything at all let alone specifying money.

was more my curiosity if its a cheeky idea or a practical one

I think its a sensible idea id give money to help pay and celebrate their day

We have given money to friends before to help pay for the honeymoon,they sent a card with a little poem that explained their reasons which was lovely

They could just put a message in the invitation saying there is nothing they need gift wise but if anyone wanted to contribute to the day it would be appreciated, or they could just haveca Greek wedding

I know a couple who asked for viouchers to pay for thier honeymoon, no one minded giving them vouchers either.

I'm not so keen, myself. I'd rather get them something unique, but then not everyone wants a gift that is off piste. When my friend got married last year their honeymoon was in the states, so I put $100 in their card. They seemed happy enough with it.

Brighton - even Hove!

If that's what they would like, then I see no harm in people giving what the happy couple would like.

My niece got married and asked for money as a wedding present. I don't think people thought it was cheeky and as they were all ready living together they had all they needed in the house
