Did this suggestion make you cringe? Good, it should have!<\/p>\n<p>Etiquette rules about what <a href=\"https:\/\/www.annsbridalbargains.com\/content\/not-to-say-invitation\/\">shouldn\u2019t be mentioned<\/a> on your wedding invitations are there for a reason, and registry information is at the top of the list. But, there are ways to get your \u201ccash, please!\u201d message out there in a more polite way.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>1. HAVE YOUR FAMILY AND CLOSE FRIENDS SPREAD THE WORD<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>The most common (and etiquette-friendly) way to ask for cash wedding gifts is to have your family and close friends spread the word. Guests will likely ask your parents or friends what you want anyway, especially if their search for your wedding registry comes up empty.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>2. ADD IT TO YOUR WEDDING WEBSITE<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Remember, under no circumstances should you add your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.annsbridalbargains.com\/blog\/2020\/01\/qa-can-we-put-registry-information-on-our-wedding-invitations-22082.html\">registry info on your invitations<\/a>. However, putting information about gift-giving on your wedding website is totally acceptable and far less tacky.<\/p>\n<p>Most wedding website templates will have an area for registry information. If you\u2019re not registering at all, adding a note that tells guests you\u2019re asking for money instead of things. But, do it in a tactful way. Here are some fun ideas:<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Ask for Money with a Poem: <\/strong><\/h4>\n<p><em>More than just kisses so far we\u2019ve shared,<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Our home has been made with love and care,<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Most things we need we\u2019ve already got,<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>And in our home we can\u2019t fit a lot!<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>A wishing well we thought would be great,<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>(But only if you wish to participate),<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>A gift of money is placed in the well,<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Then make a wish \u2026. but shhh don\u2019t tell!<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Once we\u2019ve replaced the old with the new,<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>We can look back and say it was thanks to you!<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>And in return for your kindness, we\u2019re sure<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>That one day soon you will get what you wished for!<\/p>\n<p><\/em><\/p>\n<h4><strong>A Sweet Message:\u00a0 <\/strong><\/h4>\n<p><em>A Note About Gifts<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Your presence at our wedding is the best gift of all! <\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>If you would like to bless us with a gift, a contribution<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>to our new-house fund is greatly appreciated.\u00a0 <\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>With love,<br \/>\nPrithvi and Lucas<\/p>\n<p><\/em><\/p>\n<h4><strong>Ask for Online Contributions: <\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>Make sending a gift of money for your wedding easy by creating an online registry, and adding a link on yoru website. Our favorites are:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.theknot.com\/registry\/newlywed-fund-cash-wedding-registry\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" class=\"external\">The Knot Cash Funds<\/a> \u2013 The Knot is one of the most trusted wedding planning resources around. Their new cash registry option is simple and straight-forward.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.honeyfund.com\/online-wedding-registry\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" class=\"external\">Honeyfund<\/a> \u2013 One of the first registries for money, Honeyfund\u2019s focus is on gifting money for your honeymoon.<\/p>\n<p>If you don\u2019t want money for yourselves, choose a charity that guests can donate to in honor of your wedding. Select a charity that\u2019s close to your heart; your friends and family will adore this heartwarming gesture.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>3. The Good Ol\u2019 Dollar Dance<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>All we can say here is that you need to pay attention to what\u2019s tradition or common in your group of family and friends. Different families have different customs. While having a dollar dance is a faux pas at some weddings, it\u2019s a must-do at others.<\/p>\n<p>So what is a dollar dance? It\u2019s a tradition where guests is where guests pay a dollar (or any amount they choose) to dance with the bride or the groom. It\u2019s a fun activity and is highly encouraged by some.<\/p>\n<p>We have also heard of honeymoon fund jars and wedding wishing wells set up on the welcome table as a fun way to encourage monetary gifts. Some couples add an element of excitement by making it a competition. Have your guests vote on the honeymoon location by putting money in either jar \u2013 both labeled with a destination; the jar with the most money wins and you go on your honeymoon there!<\/p>\n<p>Although these may seem like great ideas for your wedding, please consider your friends and family. We don\u2019t recommend introducing a brand new custom, as it may appear to be a rude attempt at asking for money rather than a fun tradition everyone is familiar with.<\/p>\n<p>Best wishes, brides and grooms and happy planning!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>One of the most sensitive subjects you\u2019ve probably had to deal with at one time or another is talking about money.

I\u2019m constantly looking for different embellishment ideas to make more of a unique and one-of-a-kind look.\u201d Top Ann\u2019s Invitations Gold Stripes Brilliant Banner Woodgrain and Lace","url":"https:\/\/www.annsbridalbargains.com\/blog\/author\/brooke"}]}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.annsbridalbargains.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7427","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.annsbridalbargains.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.annsbridalbargains.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.annsbridalbargains.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/4"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.annsbridalbargains.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=7427"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.annsbridalbargains.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7427\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.annsbridalbargains.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/23247"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.annsbridalbargains.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=7427"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.annsbridalbargains.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=7427"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.annsbridalbargains.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=7427"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
