Need Idea: How to wrap up a money gift for a wedding?!

[LouisLady]

When my college roomie got married, we got 100 $1 bills and put them inside one of those salad spinners, which was then gift-wrapped in its box. We got a nice, perfunctory thank-you note a few weeks afterwards, but some months later she called me up shrieking with delight, since they had only then taken it out of its box. "I'm almost embarassed to say it," she told me after she'd calmed down, "but I almost gifted it away to another couple that just got married."

Usually, we just put it in a nice red pocket - you should be able to find these at a local Chinese stationary goods store.

A little red envelope - Red symbolizes luck so its fitting to give the money to the bride & groom. I love this Chinese Tradition.

When we got married, people put money and checks in envelopes. We do the same as well.
