There is no good way to request money as a wedding gift. If any friend of mine did that, I wouldn't get them a damn thing, but I'd still show up for the free booze.

It is incredibly rude to ask for gifts of any kind. Sorry. These are guests at your wedding, not its underwriters.
A long time ago, I was invited to a wedding. After the guest list had been made, the groom to be prepared a spreadsheet with estimates of what each guest would give. The bride to be, suffered from diarreha of the mouth and let it slip about their experiment. Well, let's just say they overestimated for about 5 guests who showed up with a card containing $20. I hate money-grubbers.
not sure if anyone mentioned this in the previous 6 pages, but i saw someone write "no boxed gifts, please" on their invitation. so then i think they'd get cash or gift certificates
That's when I'd show up with helium-filled balloons and a gift-bag filled with Hershey's Kisses and confetti, maybe a few lollipops so when the band got drunk, they could suck on the balloons and sing "We Represent the Lollipop Guild."

Horrible...yet funny at the same time. Guess they had it coming!
So did they do it just for fun or were they really trying to tally up what kind of cha-ching they'd wind up with?
You guys are ridiculous. You'd really get offended if someone didn't follow your perfectionist ettiquette? Give me a break.
If a couple wants to ask for money, they should do some in a tactful manner. My friend's wedding last year had a website set up that allowed guests to contribute to their honeymoon. They could give as little as a dollar or they could purchase something as extravagant as a day-long excursion for the couple. I thought it was really cool and it kept me from having to go search for a gift on some registry.

Nah...I really do think that would be horribly tacky for the couple to blatantly ask for money.
