Wedding Etiquette Question

[kaiser78]

Help needed on this one please as totally not my area of expertise…I have been invited to a wedding reception in a couple of weeks time, although I am not able to make it.

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 ?

a cheque to Mr. & Mrs. Surname.
That way they have to go and open a joint bank account. Isn't that romantic?

You can't make it. Shame.

Just write a cheque for £100k and leave the name blank.

Good question and I'm interested in the response. Also how much is acceptable. A friend of a friend got married recently and was chatting about it on a night out. They went through what was given with a fine toothed comb and was moaning about what some people put in and others didn't etc. I find the cash option a bit distasteful but it's the modern way and I can see the logic behind the request... Just a bit of an etiquette minefield as you say.

Foxtrot Romeo Oscar.

But it's better than 5 god awful cheap toasters and other tasteless cheap that doesnt match a single thing. I remember everyone wailing when wedding lists at John lewisvetc etc became popular.

I don't know, I wasn't at your wedding...

How about a donation of your jizz in a cryogenic flask, better still, a pearl necklace?

Send them a toaster. If you think they deserve it, you could always make it a *new* toaster...

HTH.
