Finding a design and creating wedding invitations is one of the most important elements of planning a wedding because invitations provide guests with all the relevant details of the wedding. Most invitations use standard wording to describe things such as the location of the ceremony and reception, the date, and the number of guests invited. I’ve recently came across an invitation that was sent to my brother. In that invitation, details of the wedding ceremony and reception were provided. Also specified at the bottom of the card was the phrase “Do not bring gifts.” When I read that, I wasn’t sure if that meant come empty-handed or please give “cash” only.
These days, I can understand why couples request for cash gifts since weddings can be expensive and cash gifts can help cover for expenses related to the wedding event. If you want to receive cash gifts, I suggest you find a way to express that clearly in the invitation instead of stating it in an ambiguous manner because if that invitation was sent to me, I would have come empty-handed.
