How can I politely ask guests to give money instead of a gift at my wedding?
If you’re thinking about mentioning money gifts in your wedding invitations, don’t even think about it! There is nothing more tasteless then the mention of wedding gifts in a wedding invitation, period! It suggests you see your wedding guests as dollar signs. The only polite way to tell wedding guests about your money preference would be to explain your situation to close family, wedding party members and friends so that they can pass the word along. Your wedding guests will then be aware of your preference and be free to give you whatever they like.
