How Do We Ask For Money On Our Wedding Invitation? – The Wedding Expert Answer

May 20, 2009 By Leave a Comment

Question from Laura:

My fiance and I have been living together for 2 1/2 years and have no need for a registery.  How do we word the rsvp card so people just give us whatever money they can.

Answer from Wedding Expert Angela:

Hi Laura.  It is very poor etiquette to ask for money for a gift.  I suggest you go through your home, and pick out items that need replacing and put them in a registry.  Some travel agencies have a bridal registry, so you could register there.  I made a video on wedding gift etiquette that you should watch so you know the correct way of informing your guests of  your registries. 

If you have further questions, feel free to ask.

Question from Charlotte:

We are planning to be married in May.  It will be a private wedding, but we want to have a reception after the marriage for our friends.  How do I word the invitation?

Answer from Bridal Expert Angela:

Hi Charlotte, and congratulations on your upcoming wedding.  The wedding invitation starts with whomever is paying for the wedding, for they are the ones inviting the guests.  So, the invitations would state:

Question from Trudy:

My daughter is getting married in August and would like to have a presentation wedding.  How would you word something like this on the wedding invitation?

Answer from Bridal Expert Angela:

Hi Trudy.  When having a presentation wedding, it is usually put in the bottom left corner of the invitation below the RSVP.  This is the place to put things like “Presentation”, “Cash Bar”, or “Formal Dress”. 

If you have any other questions, feel free to email again.
