Hi all,

... I'm hoping I'm in the right area here for this question ?!!

DP & I received an invitation in the mail last Friday to my friend's son's Wedding that will be in July ... I'm so excited, yep I LOVE Weddings

Anyway, with the invitation in the envelope was a little card (written as a poem) about how they have everything & that they would rather that guests give MONEY as a gift

... Well, my initial reaction was "HOW RUDE" as I know for a fact they don't have "Everything" as stated, they each live with their parents & haven't even decided when & where they will be living after the Wedding

DP & I feel embarrassed about this situation as we were hoping (maybe like some guests) to find a GIFT that looked expensive But that is not (if you know what I mean).

Now, in giving money it's crystal clear how much we are giving as a Gift.

HAS ANYONE BEEN IN THIS SITUATION ???

HOW DO YOU PHYSICALLY " GIVE THE MONEY " AS A GIFT AT THE WEDDING RECEPTION ???

I have never been to a GREEK ORTHODOX Wedding before (which this is) ... Please tell me I'm not expected to pin the money on the Bride's dress as we only want to give about maybe $50 or $60 ... not a $100

HOPE SOMEONE CAN HELP ME WITH SOME ADVICE
