I have a wedding to attend in a couple of weeks and there will be a wishing well at the wedding. For those that are unfamiliar with the term essentially a well that the guests are asked to put money into. The last two weddings I have attended have both stated in the invitation that there was a wishing well, money would be appreciated. The first wedding a year or so ago I had never heard of these before and placed money in a card and dropped it into the well, the last wedding I was informed by one of the BM''s that WW''s are anonymous so I stuck an envelope with cash in the well (which made me feel stupid that I put the money in a card at the last one). At the last wedding where I did anonymously the next the day the brides MIL came down to the hotel lobby with all the envelopes then proceeded to mention that there were unidentified amounts from people and showed about 3 envelopes without cards and mentioned someone had just dropped a $20 note into the well, I got the impression that this was wrong I didn''t know what to do so I said nothing.
I am not adverse to someone knowing the amount I gave them (well not 100% adverse, I would still rather buy a gift) but I am unsure what the protocol is, does anyone know what the right way to do this is?
TIA
