That's the most polite way I could think of . What wording is a good way to ask for monetary gifts in my wedding invitation?"Please do not feel obliged to buy us a gift; all that we are expecting is you. Your presence at our wedding is gift enough, but, should you wish to give a gift as well, a cash gift to put towards our honeymoon would be greatly appreciated. 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. I am getting married in July and am currently making our wedding invitations but I am having some trouble with some wording. 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. Plan your marriage ceremony. Get married at the Clerk-Recorder's Office.
