I Want Cash Gifts
I was browsing a wedding website that had an article about how to ask for cash gifts.
You should already know how I feel about the issue, but in case I need to repeat myself - no you should not write “CASH GIFTS PREFERRED” on your invites nor should you include a special card that says that.
Anyway, I think this article was written by a content writer (i.e. someone who is paid to write short articles on random topics so that the site owner can obtain revenue from contextual advertising)because it not only said you should be bold and write on your invites “No household gifts please. Cash is better” but it also went on to say that you should change your voice mail greeting to say:
“Hi, you’ve reached 555-5555. If you’re calling about the wedding or have questions, the date is still (date) at (time) and remember we have lots of stuff so we’d love it if you’d just give us cash in place of gifts! Otherwise, leave your name and number at the tone”.
I am usually good about linking to where I find things but I refuse to place a link to that ridiculousness.
Tackheads annoy me.
So tacky. I received an invite recently saying they preferred cash. I bought them a crock pot instead.
