Invited to Best Friends wedding. They asked for no gifts.

Sarah, on August 26, 2022 at 7:57 AM Posted in Etiquette and Advice 0 5

So my best friend/MOH is getting married in January and I am so excited for them! They are doing a courthouse wedding and then a dinner reception to celebrate. On their website they specifically mention no gifts. I feel weird not giving them anything. She got me a really nice gift for my shower and I wouldn't be surprised if they also gave something at the wedding. Would it be rude to still give them money at their wedding? I definitely don't want to get them a physical gift that they won't use so I feel like money is always a safe bet. She has done so much for me for my wedding I just feel like I need to give her something.

    I think it's perfectly acceptable to give a monetary gift.

    I don’t think it would be weird at all. I would just get them a nice card and seal the money inside it and give it to them as you’re leaving.

    "No gifts" is code for, "Our home is too cramped to store any more kitchen supplies, but we're too tactful to ask for cash."


    A card with cash would be great

    Giving money wouldn’t be weird at all. It’s more acceptable nowadays.


    We had some guests who gave us money because they wanted to give us a higher dollar value than what was on our registry.

    Hi I think that would be thoughtful to do and yes that can be true that they may not use. Money is always the 2 choice.
