Honeymoon fund jar?

That's because it's a terrible idea.

So please don't.

Nope, it is tacky to ask your guest for money. Pinterest lies....it told me I could self-cater my own wedding lol

Whole lotta nope.

You will get plenty of cash/checks as gifts on your wedding day. Use that for a honeymoon. It's rude to ask for a gift on top of a gift, ya know?

It's frowned upon here. I wouldn't do that.

Don't do it. Super tacky.

Your guests will give you a wedding gift. That's enough to expect from them. Please don't keep asking them to give and give and give.

You are going to get a lot of posts about how guests shouldn't have to open their wallets at your wedding, so be prepared for it. Also, I never carry cash so I wouldn't be able to contribute even if I wanted to. The more common method of having this happen is by having a small registry so instead of gifts people give you money is basically the gist of it

No. Asking for money is rude.

If you include something like this attachment then I don't find it tacky. It's what I'm doing. My fiancee and I already have mostly everything we "need" so we are just asking if they wish to contribute they can if they want, but it makes it feel like it's not an obligation. We are also doing the money dance where guests "donate" to dance with the bride and groom.

@madison people who didn't bring a gift usually bring a card and that is where the money is held. Although weddings are NOT gifting giving occasions. This means that it is not required for someone to bring a gift. They don't need other options for gift giving.

Oh my god not another one

No poem makes this okay.

Clysti, a poem does not make it less tacky....

You could also have uniformed panhandlers recite cutesy poems before they mug your guests! It'll give it that special, personal touch.

Gross, super tacky. Adding a poem doesn't make it less rude.

Clysti, why don't you also charge admission? That way your wedding won't cost you anything! The dollar dance and honeymoon fund will be pure profit.

I was thinking about doing this. After some thought/convo with FH we decided just to do a registry...but a small one.

No @Madison, a honey fund will be seen as even more tacky. Also, if people don't bring a gift but they want to give you money, they will put it in a card. You should never ask for money or assume that anyone is going to give it to you.

That's a terrible idea. Please don't do it. Have a small registry and have a place for people to put cards. They will get the hint and give you cash.

It is poor etiquette to ask guests to pull out their wallet at a reception. The point of the reception is to thank your guests for celebrating your wedding with you.
