Im getting married in a few months and family are debating over gift registry for the kitchen tea or people bring what they want but we would rather money as we have our home and people would be buying us what we already have. What is a nice way of asking for money in the invitation? Any suggestions???

You can put a small poem into the invitation. You could change one for a wishing well to suit your kitchen tea.Try ourwishingwell.com

You don't ever mention money in an invitation or at any other time. If you don't register for gifts, people will be more inclined to give you money as a present.

You never ask for money or gifts on the invitation. It should be spread only word of mouth by the bridal party and parents, or at the bridal shower. Just don't register. If you aren't registered anywhere, people are more likely to give you money.

There is never any nice way to ask for money it is never good etiquette to requests gifts when sending out invitations!! It gives a bad feel to gifts!! The idea of the wedding is to share with the people you love with/out a cover charge(lol) people who you invite would normally contact your family and ask where you all are register and than it will be tasteful for the family to respond instead of registering if you feel you need to buy them anything they per fer money!! Or As an event planner I have send a Wedding news letter out and it has all kinda of Wedding 411 and I always add where the couple is registered or monetary gifts!!

A gift is supposed to be a gesture from the heart, not an admission ticket to your wedding. That is why you don't ever mention gifts on any invitation except the one for the bridal shower (AKA kitchen tea) so it's perfectly appropriate to mention that you would like money instead of gifts -- but the tea should NOT be hosted by you or your family members. The only exception is if the guests will be family members only, then someone like you mum or sister can send the invites. You should NEVER send out your own kitchen-tea invitations, since you shouldn't be asking for your own gifts. The other thing to consider is that you don't really NEED a "showering of gifts" - why not just have a party and skip the presents?If you insist on the gift-grab, simply have the invitation sender include "Because [Bride] has a complete home, she and [Groom] would most appreciate cash or a gift card to [Favorite Shop]."

There is no correct way to ask for money because you are NOT supposed to ask for money. You might hint to close family and friends that you have all you need and would like money but even this is VERY TACKY. You are asking people to come and share the happiness of your day and if they bring you a gift that is wonderful but to ask for a gift especially money is greedy, self serving and just plain wrong. DO NOT put this on the invitation.

Do not ask for money in any invitation! There is no nice way to ask for money. It's very very tacky. You are not a charity. And as someone above said, if you don't want to be showered with gifts, don't have a wedding shower.
