I just got a wedding invite with a request in it for the wishing well. I thought it was very tacky to send it with the actual invitations. I do understand where my cousin is coming from, I'm also engaged and we also have everything but we are just going to ask our guests for their attendance only, as I feel it's so rude to ask for money. Also, being in a tight spot financially and planning a wedding ourselves, I was going to make up a basket for their wedding gift (which I used to do professionally) which could be filled with practical but nice household items and decorated nicely. I could do this at the fraction of the cost of a gift but still give something nice. We just don't have $100+ to gift into a wishing well! We have our own upcoming wedding and other expenses and I just don't know how to work around it. Do you have to give money or can you still go ahead and give a gift?
--------------------
I would probably go to the wedding and not give money. If you want to your idea, and are not too offended to still do it, I would just send it to the bride through the mail. She'll probably still appreciate it even if she did forget her manners.
