AITA to gift currency to bride & groom?

[gravitytester]

Good friend getting married. They are not in need of typical wedding gifts, having lived together for a while. The bride isn't into trinkets/personalised things.

Their honeymoon is a trip of a lifetime to a dream location for them.

WIBTA to just gift them £100 worth of the currency of their destination? (Thinking of rounding up to make notes and note change!).

Sounds lovely.

Frowned upon on MN I know but we asked for currency. Worked out great!

I normally gift money or a voucher so it's no different to give currency imo.

I think it's a good idea. Have 2 separate friends who received this sort of wedding present & thought it was great.

We got some currency for wedding presents and it was great! We kept a note back and popped it in the back of our wedding album.

Thanks all, I'm at a complete loss otherwise- knowing they don't need anything makes it difficult!

Great idea. Some friends of ours did this for our wedding and we used it for an activity whilst we were there that I remember far more than who bought us which gift.

We went to a wedding and the couple were emigrating to Canada so I bought them some Canadian dollars instead of a gift.

In our friendship group this is the go-to present for the bride & groom. Either money or honeymoon currency. I love it as such an easy gift.

Are they going on honeymoon straight after the wedding? If there's a chance they may not get round to opening cards/gifts until they get back then maybe get it to them in advance.

We didn't stay overnight at our venue, and didn't go back after the wedding. My parents held on to cards etc until we came home.

But other than that - great idea!

Thankfully no, they're home for a week or so first :)
