I don't know if this happens in the US, but I am from Europe and people start writting their bank account numbers on wedding invitations, so guests can send moneyvia bank transfer easily.

I find it rude and I don't like it at all... some people find it a good idea.

Is it popular where you live?

Do you find it OK?

It doesn't seem like a safe idea, above all.

I could see sharing a cash app username, if you're gonna just ask for money like that. But an account number??

I hope it's not on the actual invitation but on an insert card. But yeah, it's tacky.

Your account number is on all your checks...assuming you still write checks. So it's not a secret, nor is it enough for someone to empty your account.

OP, most people here in the U.S. other than the young and greedy consider a naked cash grab like that to be distasteful.

Account numbers aren't necessarily private info, but yeah, people can do damage with just a bit of information.

There was something that went around social media a while ago of some dimwit who posted a picture of her new credit card because she thought it was cute or something? Then someone jokingly asked her what the numbers on the back were--and she posted them. On the internet.

That’s incredibly tacky. I wouldn’t give any money as a gift with an invitation like that.

The way it's progressing, soon we'll simply be charged a set fee to attend the wedding.

There are still people out there who think that the price of your gift should cover the cost of their expense to host you, which is tacky, tacky, tacky.

I would purposely send nothing if I received an invite like that.

I went to a wedding once, where the invitation listed what they wanted, and where they were registered. Yes. The wedding invitation.


The wedding was in a park on a windy day in March. All the guests were to bring a covered dish for the picnic style reception...in the park. If you didn't bring your own lawn chair, you had to stand through the ceremony.


We didn't even get wedding cake.
