If men could register for plasma tv''s, fishing rods and golf clubs...they would be eating off of paper plates!
My take on it, is that weddings where people give cash gifts it''s a given, like an unspoken rule. I have been given the heads up in these circumstances, as it''s foreign to me. I have no problem with giving a cash gift. Do I want to be held hostage to pay for your room massages while you are honeymooning?? Ummm, that would be a NO. I dunno, it''s very different these days, some things I say no prob. Other''s that are self serving, Such as in room massages, I don''t think it''s the guests obligation to help finance.
I''d much rather buy you a toaster. Just kidding, am hipper than that.
But see, if you just hand out cash, even if you know they want it, you just never know. Maybe they made a car payment with it. One one hand, a gift is given without strings, but I would like to think my gift had more staying power! That is why, though I will give cash, I would rather get you a Dyson vacuum that you have been wanting, or something of that nature.
