Asking For Money To Pay For Wedding – Tacky or Smart?
September 17th, 2009 Posted 4:44 pm
While traditions might dictate the etiquette of how things are done. One is left to wonder if tradition is always best; after
all someone had to come up with it so why not set your own trend. Some say asking for monetary donations instead of setting up the usual gift registry is tacky, but others view it as a creative approach to our current economic state.
The argument is one that makes for a spirited debate if nothing more.
A few questions pop to mind.
* Are there any written rules that determines the type of gift a couple is allow to ask for?
* What exactly does gift giving really mean?
* What is the difference between a wedding registry / gift certificate and a donation to help a couple with their planning expenses?
Hmmmmm, I bet the question is not as simple as it appeared.
