okay guys a related dilemma… what if you want to take the “no boxed gifts” to the next step… in that I only want cash.. hard cash… no cheques. cheques can bounce. please suggest a classy way to word the above desired setup, thanks.

plus is it tacky to appoint someone to count the cash as the guests roll in and give up the dough? it might be a good idea to have a running total of the gifts collected at the front of the room to keep track of the PnL.

Yes it is tacky. What if they don’t have the means to give a lot of money and everyone sees? Just try to remember you gave what and thank them later. Not all people are that fortunate and it could cause problems if you do that.
