@ OP. You most be planning to raise money thru that your wedding ceremony~~ Instead to give people wrong impression and showing how desperate you are about racking in all your expenses on the wedding~~it would have been much better for you to organise a fund raising than using your wedding to blackmail yourself   ~ |

yorke: Exactly |

don't rely on money u ar goin to get, God 'll certainly bless u in his own way, u shouldn't dictate for people what to present, All d best! |

Put it on the IV. Auction rice,cake,drinks at your reception. Collect gifts then have garage sales next day after your wedding. |

Moralistli: You dont need to dictate to people what to present you~~ Though that is very common in western countries~I remember one of my friend wedding in uk *People were told to present their gifts according to the couples wish~ like if you want to offer them LCD TV they asked for 42 inches and Sony product~~ If you want to present them washing machine they asked for Bosh product on and on like that* mind you all items required by the couples was put on the I.V. But I see it as crazy thing to do~ |

Meanwhile, only evil spirit can make one hav such thot, |

Moralistli: Ok bruv~ I just see wedding or any other ceremony as an avenue to thank God for what he is done for you for that special moment on that day of your celebration**for he is able to make that day a reality for you** Not an avenue to take revenge on your guests and siphone their pocket and acquire what you feel you dont have at home. |
| Re: Wedding:how Do I Tell Guests Not To Bring Gifts But Money by evilspirit: 12:06pm On Dec 11, 2010 |

evilspirit: @ evilspirit K-money is dead now money177~~ So because of your wedding budget you will ask your guests to offer you money instead of gifts~~but why cant you cut you cloth according to your stature** |

evilspirit: Is it not better one structures a wedding to suit his budget rather than spending lots and lots and putting your trust on the guests as your source of recovery of the spent money. It may hit you hard and depress you if you end up not getting much cash from that wedding. I remember coming across somebody that was regretting spending much in his wedding when he should have used half of that money to acquire a land in Lagos then. Wedding is the celebration of your union with your second half and the receiving of church blessings to start your family and not a[b] business venture [/b] for goodness sake. Why do we all strive too much to please the society and get the respect of friends to our own detriment. |

It is as simple as ABC. just tell them that rice will be for sale on your wedding day. that A plate of rice with meat goes for 1,000 A plate of rice without meat sales for 700 Minerals 200 Alcohol 500 Dance 300 Seats 200 This will be your budget breakdown. and in this way you can get both gifts n money |

You can not rely on people for your wedding expenses  what a funny thread oh lord. |

Answering this question depends on where you reside. If you reside in Nigeria you know quite well that this is not our culture, to even dream of such a thing. It is not our culture to tell your guests what to and what not to bring to your wedding as a gift. Whatever you receive please appreciate it because no one owes you a gift. Gift is a free will it is not mandatory. If you reside in the US then you can somehow indicate what you want or the items you particularly need. Your place of residence determines what you do. Still do not forget your culture check this out if it will help you. Getting married? Receive cash instead of gifts in a great way. More info here! wedandwish.com/receivecash |
