Wedding invitation

View quoted message Thank you Hunk. If we want to put cash registry on digital invitation, what is the appropriate way of putting it in the invitation

E-invitations are okay to send out now to your guests since you will have it for some time if the maps and locations will be posted. It isn't rude to ask for monetary gifts as it can be phrased that way or as we put on the Indian invitations No Boxed Gifts Please. I know one cousin who got married 2 years ago in September and send the online invitations in February.

Hi,
My wedding is on the same date! I have some family in the US and Western Canada so I want to give a lot of notice. I sent out Save the Dates in late November 2021. And I am planning on printing/writing out addresses by late March, early April. The hope is to send them out by mid-April at the latest and asking guests to return RSVPs by May 9th. That gives guests a buffer of time to get to them by mail, for guests time to plan and then to respond. It also gives me a couple weeks to follow up with anyone who has not responded by late May and have final numbers by June — about 2 months out. I need a solid 60 days to finalize meal options and details with my venue owner. All the best!

If you are sending digital invitations, you could probably push it to 6 weeks prior but I think 8 weeks is a safe amount of time.

But I agree with Amanda and Hank regarding registry. If you just dont mention anything regarding an actual registry site, people will just assume you'd prefer cash. If you are worried about people still buying you gifts, there are registry sites where you can put things like "donations towards honeymoney" or things like that.

My fiance and I are August 7th and we're sending out invites the first week of May.
We also don't have a gift registery, so we have put in a little insert not on the invite stating
"we don't have gift list for all of you to see. As we have everything we need in our home. Your presence at our wedding is s gift by itself. If you desire to give nonetheless, a monetary gift is one we suggest."

Great,thanks Hank!

If you're using a wedding website, gift info should be listed there. If you're using a printed RSVP card without a website, you can omit any mentioning of gifts. The lack of a gift registry is a hint for guests to give cash. Asking guests directly for cash in an invite would be considered rude.

You can send out invites but if your RSVP date is June, you might be waiting around for a good number of responses since people tend to answer closer to the deadline. You might also need to nudge people with reminders.
