Just curious: you receive a wedding invite from a good friend. At the bottom it reads "Household Established - Monetary Gifts Appreciated" - TFox Sep 17, 08:12 28
- Most people give cash now anyway. Why be upset about this vs the general expectation that you should give a gift anyway? -- nm - Reagen Sep 17, 08:23 1
  - because you don't ask for gifts of any kind on an invitation. -- nm - loosilu Sep 17, 08:23
- I'm fine with giving cash. Whatever would be most useful to them.' -- nm - prayformojo Sep 17, 08:21
- I'll probably give them a nice bottle of wine... - znufrii Sep 17, 08:21

    - yes. you get off much cheaper with that fake burnin' money!.....nm - xi Sep 17, 08:22 1
      - I wonder if it's possible to get any of that Zimbabwean currency? -- nm - loosilu Sep 17, 08:23
- I would appreciate the advice and buy a gift card for them from a specific store. - Beryllium Sep 17, 08:17 3
  - wanting cash is one thing. having people give that advice is fine. putting it in writing is the problem. gifts are NOT obligatory for wedding guests. - Andie Sep 17, 08:22 2
    - (also - a gift card isn't *cash*.) :) -- nm - Andie Sep 17, 08:23
    - exactly. -- nm - loosilu Sep 17, 08:22

  - I've never given gifts - its alway cash -- nm - decline Sep 17, 08:17
  - i've given cash for the past 10 years. often with a small item, but always cash. -- nm - Andie Sep 17, 08:16 2
    - I don't mind the idea. it's the asking for it on the invite that makes me bristle. -- nm - loosilu Sep 17, 08:16 1
      - exactly. -- nm - Andie Sep 17, 08:19

  - yup. -- nm - Beaker Sep 17, 08:17

  - Ok...that bums me out. I'd much prefer it if the reactions were real. - Jim Sep 17, 07:27 1
    - I don't know that for a fact. But if the whole movie hinges on his rap career, you'd think they'd want to make sure they could do that part... - TFox Sep 17, 07:30

Movie Theatres in the US have a maximum of 299 seats because at 300 wheelchairs must have access to all rows.... - Walt_Disney Sep 17, 05:53 5
