FB Post

Hey girls! I just got on facebook to find this post and the responses... WTH? Who would think thats okay to put that on an invitation? You can't tell anyone what to get you. The stupidity of some people amazes me. By the way, this poster (this that a word? :) is an acquintance through my husband so I don't know her that well.  
WEDDING PLANNING POSTER: is it rude to put cash gifts only on wedding invations??
PERSON A: Yes that would be very frowned upon:)
WPP: thats gay :)
 
PERSON B: I know alot of ppl getting married do it.
 
WPP: whell hows a nice way to put it i dont wanna come across as rude or nethin dont wanna affend anyone
 
PERSON B: Just the way u put it on fb. U rather have money then gifts u gotta take back. Most ppl understand. Just say cash gifts are welcome. There's nuttin rude about it
 
PERSON C: or you could explain on the invites that you already have a lot of your needed items, but that cash gifts would be appreciated. In todays economy, i dont think people would mind.
 
Sorry for the funky lettering and sizes. :)

Re: FB Post

  • Ugh....how do people not see that there is no proper way to ask for money and that it should not be done.

  • They could try some spelling and sentence structure.  Thinking outside of the "WE WANT" box would be also be helpful.

    My baby girl is a married woman...and now my baby girl HAS a baby girl. Time unfolds in such an amazing way. I've been blessed!
  • Awesome.  Some people are just classless--there's no other way to put it. 
    Matt loves Munkii!!!
  • Geez.  I think she needs to be reminded that gifts aren't required for a wedding.  Sure 99% of people do it, but you should expect it and you definitely shouldn't tell them what they can and can't get you.

    Isn't the general rule that you shouldn't put anything about gifts whatsoever on wedding invitations.  Oh, and to whoever said they knew lots of people who were doing it, I've never seen it and I've been invited to at least 10 weddings in the past 2 or 3 years.

  • This is going to sound tasteless but where I am from it is not only considered ok but quite common to put greenback preferred on an invite. I think it's quite tacky but whenever I get an invite from home it's on there.

  • If I got an invitation from anyone that said that I would think that was really rude. I hope we don't get invited to this wedding either. I know, how awful but it seems like some people invite every person they know to get gifts.

    I never responsed to this post or any of the other ones that she's posted. She's had some other good ones too but I thought that this one was really bad.

    Some of the things that are okay in some areas really amaze me. One of the girls I know has had three boys and she was thrown a shower by her family the first time. The second two, she threw herself. Nobody said anything too her, I asked. She said nobody offered so she did it because she couldn't afford to buy more clothes or anything. Hello! Why are you having another child then?!

    And here I got stopped at the "thats gay :)", meaning, "That's stupid."  Sigh!
  • 2dbride- I think that's very rude to use that phrase too. Mainly because one of my very good friends is gay, and it upsets her when people use it. This fb poster is very rude person all around. Obviously she doesn't really care about being that way.
