Asking wedding guests to donate money instead fo giving gifts
I am having my wedding out of town where neither of us live so everyone will be traveling about 3 hours away. We are both in our 40's and have decided that we would rather not have our guest spend money on gifts we don't need. However, I do work with a lot of younger people who like to party and I was thinking about getting a mini-bus limo to shuttle everyone back to rooms so they are not drinking and driving. How can I ask guests to donate to the shuttle instead of buying wedding gifts. I have tossed this idea around with a lot of people and they think it is a great idea.

This could be conveyed personally following their rsvp or you can put that on your wedding website or blog. It should not be included in the invitation. Nancy Tucker President of Weddings Beautiful US http://www.weddingsbeautiful.com
Asking your guests to contribute to any part of your wedding isn't polite; it is like asking guests to pay for the party. But, if they ask, then you may suggest this as an alternative. Rebecca Black, Etiquette Now
