Wedding Etiquette Question

[kaiser78]

Extending on from my original query, do I just include the cheque (if not cash) inside the card, or should this be put into another envelope and/or with a gift message inside the card ?

Just bung it in the card.

If they are decent people they will just be grateful.

If they are ******* then who gives a **** what they think.

What did you do to cause them to throw the bowls at you?

I can't wait for the stag do. I will invite all those you have given infractions to over the years.....

I try to avoid "middle-aged" stag do's these days. Some want to go clubbing (I'm too old), Spearmint Rhino is pointless now we have the internet, and the idea of a golf weekend on the Algarve fills me with a deep sense of gloom. Frankly, I'd rather have some typhoid.
So if it's none of those, count me in. Do I need to bring a copy of my infraction or do you keep them on file?

It's on file.

Thankfully ZeitSis specified "no presents" in the wedding invite, much to Zeity's relief.

Anyway they've got a fecking sight more money than I have.

The wedding couple have asked for donations to their honeymoon next year. My query is whether it is the done thing to just enclose cash with the card, or should I write a cheque ?

Though wouldn't be better to give them the empty coin bottle with the word "Money box" printed on it?

If you can drop it off in person put cash in it e.g. put it through their own or their parents' letter box.

That way you avoid the modern issue over names and who to write the cheque to.

Might as well just give them one of these (and a tube of superglue)....

[vetran]

why should anyone give money to people just because they're stupid enough to get married?

works for ex Mrs BP!
