I’m sure this has been asked before, but I was wondering if people would share their opinions on asking for cash instead of a gift for a wedding.
I’ve lived with my partner for years, we have absolutely everything we could ever need, but we don’t have money for a honeymoon due to maternity pay and paying for the wedding.
I’ve been advised that it’s now common to pop a little poem in with the invite stating that you don’t want a gift, all you want is for the person to attend, but if they insist, help towards the honeymoon would be greatly appreciated.
Would you consider this rude? I would hate to ever offend anyone but if it was me, I would much rather help towards the honeymoon rather than waste money on an unneeded gift.
