So we have decided, no doubt like many couples, that we already have everything we need in the house - Many items we have two of each, since moving in together...
This being the case we want to ask for cash gift towards our honeymoon.
Whereas I find this somewhat cold, we agreed that it is preferable to a gift list.
I do not want to broach the subject in a way which may come across as crass and definitely do not want to ask people to bring envelopes with money to the wedding as I feel this is a little risky - Not that I for a moment think the guests will make away with the cash, but simply because I do not want to have to worry about keeping track of where it all is or that we may lose it or forget it afer a few drinks!
Is anyone thinking about doing this or has done it already? I thought about setting up a bank account in joint names and providing the details to the guests so they may pay in whatever they wish in their own time.
How are you approaching it or approached it if you did this?
Your thoughts are much appreciated, as always!
