My daughter is getting married. I am giving her a shower. She lives out of state. I would like for her gifts to be in the form of cash because of high shipping cost that she would have to endure getting them to where she will be living. How can I word her invitations.
You should never tell people what to give as a gift, especially not on an invitation. Although it is true your daughter will experience cost issues when bringing the gifts to her home, this is totally against etiquette.
We are getting married next month after being together for 7 years, so we have everything already (pots & pans, dishes, etc). We were not going to write on the invitation that we would rather have money, so when our relatives asked our parents what we wanted for the wedding (even though we're registered at 3 places), they told them that we would prefer money so we could buy new furniture for our new house. Word of mouth. By all means, do not put on the invitation that your daughter would prefer money.
