Hi! I have a friend whom I've known since junior high and she is getting married. We used to be quite close but now we've kinda grown apart. Anyway. She did not register for gift registry and she hinted to me that she prefers cash for wedding gift. (She asked me if it's rude if she doesn't get wedding gift registry, so I understand that must be a hint)
Here's my question, how should I give her a cash gift? Should I write her a cheque, and send it to her house? Or should I give it to her on her wedding day? I don't want to send money through mail. I've also read stories about cards with cash getting lost at wedding reception and then the bride thinks the guests did not get them a gift, etc. etc., I really want to avoid that happening. :s
My second question is, she is holding her wedding at 3pm and then reception to follow at a golf club. My sister suggests giving around $120 cdn pp., is that a good amount as cash gift? For reference, we are both 25 yrs old and we are not loaded. hehe I am also attending her bridal shower.
Thanks for any input!
