Hello all! I'd really appreciate your thoughts on this as recently I have been inundated with wedding invitations from various people all of which are requesting cash as gifts ( usually in the form of some bizarre little poem).
Personally I feel this is a really rude and tacky thing to do. It brings up problems of how much money you should give . I would be embarrassed if I don't make large enough a contribution compared to other people and I would much prefer to give a gift as nobody would know how much it cost.
I've been getting so irritated by all this that I've been tempted to send the offending culprits a letter from my son regarding Christmas ;-)

Dear (insert name here)
For Christmas this year
I'm not asking from greed
I have so many toys
there's no more that I need
I do not want duplicates
as they make no sense
so please give to me
all your pounds and pence!
I've made up this rhyme which is a bit wacky
in the hope that my request
doesn't sound quite so tacky!

I'd love to hear others opinions on this.
Thank you!
