That's the most polite way I could think of . Below, we'll give you specific examples of what to write in a wedding card with money, with options for cash, gift cards, charity donations and checks.There is no proper way to word that, as it's rude to ask for money. And definitely do not put anything about gifts or money on your invitations. It's considered polite to indicate what you will be using the money is for. Don't word a wedding invitation asking guests to give you money as a gift which at least covers the cost of the meal. Thank you for being a part of our special day. I am getting married in July and am currently making our wedding invitations but I am having some trouble with some wording. "Our greatest gift would be your presence on our special day! However, if you insist, we do have a wishing well."
