Cash Gifts

 

Dear Mrs. Figgins:

My fiancé and I are getting married.  Money is pretty tight.

Do you think it’s proper for us to ask for money in lieu of gifts?

Dear Diane & Richard:

It is becoming acceptable for couples to ask for money as a wedding gift. 

This said, my advice is that you be quite clear in stating what the money will be spent on, so that those who do contribute cash in lieu of more traditional gifts feel that they’re helping towards something specific and worthwhile.

“Nearly Married” is an online gift service in the UK which gives you the opportunity to customize gifts of money with your own gift name, description, price and picture.

Many Congratulations!

Mrs. Figgins
