I've been thinking of making a wedding gift list, but as ive had my own home for nearly 14 years now, i don't really need anything. I could put down silly things like pots and pans i suppose but as already got loads i don't know what to do??
My friend just suggested a donation for a honeymoon. But when i told my mum this idea she said 'i cant be so bloody rude!'
Does anyone else think this is rude or has anyone else thought of this??
My friend says thomas cook does something along these lines but i cant find it, please HELP!!

My friend chose a couple of stores and asked everyone for gift vouchers, that way u can get things you really want and dont have to think about it in advance x

Im having same dilema. there are some poems on ebay you can use. tes one of the girls on here said about that thomas cook thing, but not sure where you find it soz x

I don't think it's rude it's better than wasting people's money on things you already have & saves you the hassle of things you have to take back & return. We've asked for cash, I got a lovely little poem cards off ebay which I thought was a lovely polite way in asking for it, they do them for honeymoons, vouchers etc too! x

Cheers leanne, i'll look at those poams as well :-)

i dont think thats rude at all, i have also had my own place come the wedding 14yrs, so have collected alot of stuff.
we are going to have a small list (prob argos wedding gift list) but then we will have mainly money on it as thats what we want, it seams pointless people getting us stuff that we A: dont want and B:dont need xx

You could always ask for travellers cheques, though were jus gonna ask for money towards our honeymoon. There's nothing rude about it. Im sure people would rather give you money towards something you want/need than getting you something you wont realy use ^.^

I dont think this is rude, my best friend is getting married in july and she is asking for honeymoon vouchers

we are having a wedding wishing well and in with the invitations we will be putting a poem to the affect of give us money !we hav been together for 10 years have our own home and 2 children we dont need anything apart from cash so thats what we are doing

were cani find the poems

thomas cook vouchers huni and we have asked for some money for our honeymoon and no-one has batted an eyelid about it in fact some of them were asking me about what currency we need, bless em!

i don't think your being rude at all if you contact thomas cook they do a card where can come and just put some money on

It's defo not rude! Most people getting married have lived together beforehand now so money or gift vouchers seems normal! We are asking for money with a little poem. :)

we are the same we have been together for 5 years already and already been living together for the last 3 years so we have everything we need in our invites we have put in a little card that reads 'on our special wedding day, we simply dont no how to say, we have a house with contents too so presents really wouldnt do, if a gift you would like to bring, a gift of cash would be the thing, this we would apreciate on our special wedding date, we hope this verse wont cause offence, but in our case it makes more sence! we have had the odd person saying i would really like to buy you something but everyone is fine with it. i wouldnt say it was cheeky to ask for vouchers towards your honeymoon atleast its going on something that yoou will both enjoy x

We're saying that we don't expect gifts but we would be grateful for donations towards the honeymoon. They don't have to, and one friend is planning in getting us a slow cooker instead, but it's better to be honest than have a house full of stuff that you don't need.
