Is it appropriate for someone to give money as a wedding gift?

Question

.. or is it just plain rude because you haven't really thought about what to get them?

Answer 1

It is more than appropriate. They will like that better than a gift. It is hard after such a long day and partying to make sure that you bring all those boxes with you. And even more difficult if you are leaving for your honeymoon the very next morning. Most likely you will not be going home anytime between the two so that leaves your parents or someone else to take all the gifts somewhere for you when they had been drinking. Unless of course you just have the gift delivered to their house, that would be nice. But just bring a card stuffed full of cash! Have fun!

Answer 2

I think that it is very appropriate. Some people may appreciate money so that they can pick and choose what they want to do with it. They may need money to pay a bills after that expensive wedding and having cash to do so may just be the help they need. I think it will show that you thought about them a lot. Now if they are rich and have ample money, I think you need to buy them a nice gift. I hope that this helps. Take care

Answer 3

I had 179 guest at my wedding and i got all money except for 5 gifts! and i loved it.. the money that i received paid for us to have a vacation and money left over for other things that we needed.. i would not go any less then 40 bucks..a nice wedding gift will cost around 40. i had people put 10 20 bucks in a card and i was like what it is costing me 10 bucks just to feed one of you and you are going to give me 10 bucks for a family of 5! remember at least 20 for a single person 40 for a couple and 50 for a family..

Answer 4

NO, that's fine, give them money some people appreciate it as they generally end up with the same gifts. Money could be used towards their honeymoon or other expenses. A lot of people these days live together in any case and have lots of appliances and gifts that you would normally give at weddings.

Answer 5

That would depend on the couple, I have given money to people I was close to, I knew that it was what they wanted/needed most especially after an expensive wedding and they were grateful. Some people would find it tacky and for the reason you stated, but is a punch bowl more personal? I say if they haven't registered and you are not close enough to know exactly what they want/need give money.

Answer 6

I don't know what Miss Manners would say about this, but I personally would be happy to get money as a wedding gift. You need a lot of help when you are first starting out in a marriage, and that money will come in handy.

Answer 7

When I got married money was one of the best gifts. You can buy what ever you want and you don't have to stand in the return lines returning stuff you won't ever use or just plain out don't want.

Don't give just money, included the money in a romantic card, signed sent with love and best wishes.

Answer 8

NO.......infact, I think that's what alot of people are doing nowadays. I have gone to several weddings and said they would prefer monetary gifts. Nowadays, most people have what they already want so i think it's a good idea to give money to help with the post wedding bills or as a little down payment on a house or whatever. Give it!

Answer 9

Money is always an appropriate wedding gift.
