    In A Wedding Invitation, How Do I Ask The Guests To Bring Money Instead Of Bringing Us Materialistic Gifts?

    We do not want our guests to bring us material gifts for our wedding since they do not know our tastes and we do not wanna end up with with 5 toasters or so...we prefer if anybody decides to give us something for our wedding, that these people dive us mutual funds (money, or checks...)

    You may no longer need this answered but I asked for money instead of gifts at my wedding. We simply put in our invite that we had made a list at the following stores, (listed them) or that we would accept money instead of gifts.

      If you want anyone to come to your wedding besides your parents I would not ask this at all. It is rude and very tacky. If you get stuff you don't like or need try to return it to the store if you can identify where it came from, sell it or re-gift it.

      Your wedding is a celebration of your new life; not an opportunity to cash in, despite what you may see around you.

      It is not appropriate to ever ask for a type of gift in your invitation package, with the exception of when you ask you guests to donate to a particular charity in lieu of a gift, which is becoming increasingly popular, especially with second marriages.

      Some couples don't want anything other than their guests' company and the lovely wording I've used for that is:

      My sister designed the invitations for my cousins wedding. She found a poem on the Internet that said something along the lines of 'we have pans and pots but we'd much prefer something for our saving pots' or something lol
      But the poem was nice, it explained things in a nice way and said that all gifta were appreciated but there was no use getting them gifts that they already had.
      Try looking around on the Internet for a poem, you can decorate it and stick it in with the invitations. It will look polite and classy!
