when some one send you an invitation to a wedding and they say monetary gifts are preffered.
They behave like because they invited you to their wedding you must give a gift.
Person's fail to realise that when they invite someone to their wedding it is to celebrate their special day with them not to hoard gifts.
I know that gift giving is traditional and very nice, don't get me wrong.

Sarah M, did someone really tell your friend what color to wear. Wow the things people do at weddings nowadays.
Don't you miss the good old days when weddings weren't so (how can I put this) restrictive

Well it's only fair to give a wedding gift if you're invited to the reception (after all, the bride and groom are probably paying on average $80 for you and a guest to party with them). If you're just invited to the church, I wouldn't feel bad about not giving a gift. But I do agree that it's rude to ask for monetary gifts only. I say give them a gift card to a crappy store... Gift cards are technically monetary... he he he...
Something else that I've seen that is totally rude... My friend was just invited to a wedding, and the invitation read, "Attire must be pink or champagne colored." THAT would tick me off, telling me what *bleeping* color to wear to a wedding when I'm not in the wedding party? Grrrr.

I think that is very tacky to request monetary gifts because obviously if you were raised right, you are going to give a gift
of some sort.
They say it is not rude in those wedding books but screw them.It just makes you look like a thirsty bride - only thinking of the cash aspect of the wedding instead of celebrating a special day with family and friends.
For the most part - everybody just automatically gives cash as a gift because the gift gifts (appliances, sheets, towels, etc...) are what you get at the bridal shower.
But if you don't want to give a gift - that is your business, just expect to be talked about and take it with a grain of salt.

You think them wanting a gift is cheeky... asking for cash...>>>>> these are some of my fav wedding requests... not...!!
Your presence at our wedding is present enough! But if we're honored with a gift from you,may we respectfully request a gift of money to help us with our new home...!!
We're dreaming of a honeymoonand we hope our dreams come true...if you helped us fund our trip we'd be so grateful to you!
We didn't register We don't need more stuff But when it comes to financial help You can never have enough
We have our hearts set on a trip to Hawaii, We're saving every nickel and dime. So if you aren't sure what to get for a wedding present A gift of cash would be just divine!

Weddings are super pricey to put on, what with flowers for the church, catering, dresses (tuxes, not so much) and all of that...so I have no problem with people expecting a gift. It's not rude at all to expect guests to follow a tradition that's embraced by every culture I can think of.

The thing is when your going to their wedding they probably spent alot on catering and food and a cake ect... So you should feel that a gift is kinda a thank you and congrats. Why should you get to enjoy all the food and things they paid for. Besides you dont have to buy an expensive gift..

Asking for money is a very TACKY practice. If they are not registered anywhere, tough for them. I do not give anyone money.

i think it's rude too. Just seams like that's all they want from you, like they could really care less if your there as long as they get something. That may not be the case, but that's how it feels.
