cash gift on wedding invitation

so i'm listening to KIIS fm which is based out of LA.  Ryan Seacrest & the co-host Ellen got a call from a listener asking if it was tacking to put "cash gifts" on her wedding invitation because they've been living together already & cash really is what they need.

I can't believe that Ryan & Ellen... they both say that's ok. Ryan actually said it's easier because then there is no question as to what to get them.  Are they on another planet??  I was just thinking to myself... oh that bride obviously is not on the knot.  It reminded me about how we used to all talk about this on TK all the time, lol.

Re: cash gift on wedding invitation

  • Yeah even I think it is crap and I am probably one of the more lenient people when it comes to "etiquette"

    One more reason why Seacrest is a douche

  • i would like her to call into martha stewart radio and hear what they had to say to her!

    i always give cash as a wedding gift, but if someone specifically put that on the invite i would go out of my way to buy a gift (and most likely something that couldn't be returned). Yeah, i'm a beotch like that.

    This, exactly. 

  • Another caller said they put "no gifts, but a love donation is appreciated".  the guy was bragging that they got $10k worth of gifts.  If i seen that, i would have bought them some sex toys.  moron.

  • Agree - there shouldn't be any mention of gift anywhere on the wedding invitation!  Much less a cash gift.

  • This is why you don't take etiquette advice from a dude.
  • I'd be mad to see that on the invitation. I usually give cash anyways, but I don't need someone to tell me that is what I have to give them.
  • I dont know why couples feel the need to make it seem that a wedding = making money.
