Cash In Lieu Of Wedding Present
20 Answers
We have been invited to a family friend's wedding and the invitation makes it clear they want cash instead of a present. We have been invited to the Church service and the reception but will only be able to go to the Church.
It's a long way off yet but we can't agree on how much to give.

Dave and I asked for vouchers Most people gave around £30 none of our friends and family were loaded but it built up to a usable amount.
When the eldest son of some of our friends got married, the couple asked for no presents, as they were both in well paid jobs and had houses. Instead we were given a link to the Oxfam website and requested to make suitable donations, boosted by Gift Aid. If I remember correctly, we paid for a village well somewhere in Africa together with a couple of goats.
