Honeymoon fund cards

What is a honeymoon fund card?

View Quoted Comment Essentially it is a gift request card that you send with invitations. Instead of posting a registry for household items for your wedding, it is asking for a cash gift that you can spend on your honeymoon.

View Quoted Comment No registry information should be included in your invitation. Cash, physical, or otherwise.

View Quoted Comment Oh okay, that wouldn’t go in an invitation. Registry information of any kind should be wedding website or word of mouth only. Save your money and the worry of people possibly being offended.

I'm old school and my guests are old school. If the registry isn't listed in the packet with the invitation, they're just gonna buy whatever they want- almost no one in my family would ever give cash. They find it rude. However, they also aren't getting online to look at a wedding site in no way, shape, or form. You know your guests best- if they aren't easily offended and want that direction of what an appropriate gift is, Id have them made. You may be able to include it in a "details card. " Most websites like zazzle and shutterfly are completely customizable- find the right size, the right print, play with the customize options to put your own text in, and order!

I would also think about the people you’re inviting and whether they would be offended by these cards. You really shouldn’t assume anyone is getting you a gift by providing registry or gift information on the wedding invitation. Most people only do registry info for a shower invite so maybe you could just put these cards in those invitations!

Definitely a "know your guests" issue (and, ALL of your guests, not just the ones who are your best friends/like you). For more "traditional" guests, this may well be super offensive..., and, among daughter & SIL's guests, the more "traditional" guests were the ones who tended to write BIG checks. B&G's peers, understandably, gave gifts of significantly lower cash value (a groomsman and his fiance gave them a spatula...). Depending on your crowd, the people most likely to be offended by an "asking for money" strategy are exactly those most likely to give a more generous gift -- do you want to risk offending them? Conventional wisdom says, don't say anything about gifts, and, in most circles, guests will give you cash as a wedding gift. (And, a bridal shower is for "showering the bride/couple with gifts for their home," so, again, in "traditional" circles, asking for cash isn't appropriate there either.)
