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.

Q: I have a year to send out my thank you cards…right?
A: WRONG! You do not have a year to send out your thank you cards and if you wait that long you will upset quite a few people. No one can possibly be that lazy busy that it takes a year to send a thank you. The rule states that guests have one year to send you a gift. The latest you should wait is 4 weeks, and even that is pushing it.

He left you at the alter.
You waited for over 2 hours.
He didn’t call.
You had to go out and face your family and friends to tell them you weren’t having a wedding.
You had your reception anyway.
He calls you the next day; apologizes; and both of you head to Vegas to get married.
Either this is one heck of a scripted show, or that broad is dumb as a doorknob.

Wow, someone got embarrassed….
Apparently Modern Bride of The Year, Heather Warnken, and her fiance have signed up for a Honeymoon registry. I guess the odd thing about it is that she and her fiance are having a destination wedding and then on top of that asking for money for their honeymoon. So basically the guests not only have to pay for airfare/hotel/etc to attend the wedding, but then they are asking for people to finance their $8,500 honeymoon!
I know I can be a little harsh but some of the comments on there are brutal!
“you know what would rock my world? if this entitled bitch were forced to write on her forehead in Sharpie who had been the ’sponsor’ of that hour/day/whatever of their vacation, i.e., which of her sucker friends had been the one to pony up the cabbage for that interval.soo tacky, asking your ‘friends’ to pay for your vacation… i wonder how she’s going to feel about getting hit up for vacay money 4-6 years from now when she’s all doing dishes at the sink, preggers, varicose-veiny, and the NEW hot bride is asking for hand-outs. cheap trash.”
