Re: Supberb Wedding Gifts
We did this at our wedding also....
We already had a fully furnished house, so didn't need any 'gifts' (typical toaster, kettle lol) and usually when people give money to the newlyweds it's to help them out at the beginning. We thought it would be selfish of us to take money we didn't need, so we asked guests to donate money to 2 charities that are close to my husband and I.
it's becoming common pratice to do things like this, as most likely the groom and bride are financially stable..... though you still get the odd aunty doing the old 'lehn dayn'... :)
