Giving Cash as A Wedding Gift

Having just a received a wedding invitation with the gift request to be money only, my initial thoughts were... how incredibly unexciting and why should I give money if I don't want to! This was followed by how on earth do I know the "appropriate" amount of money to give?

Having thought about it a bit more, I imagined most couples nowadays are generally co-habiting by the time they marry in which case they probably already own all the "dreaded" wedding presents they are likely to receive and so I realised that for young people (sadly I'm no longer a spring chicken) it's probably the most ideal solution for a wedding gift.

The request for money in my invitation was written in a comical verse which I felt was a nice touch so it set me on the path of what would be the most surprising and fun ways to present cash as a wedding gift.

	Fortune cookies have always been a fun and popular gift so maybe it would be a nice touch to fold your gift of money into the shape of a fortune cookie with a lucky note inside. Or, use a typical fortune cookie and use the money note(s) as the inserted lucky note.
	I've always loved paper flowers and thought they such a lovely alternative gift to fresh flowers. Why not try your hand at money flowers as a fun wedding gift. Click here for a How-To.
	I love this gift idea, this would be a wonderful birthday surprise too. Using a pearl transparent balloon you can insert cash and add confetti too.
	Using the art of Origami how about crafting the shape of a dress and suit to represent the happy couple. Again, this is also great for a birthday gift to a very stylish male or female.
	For a cute and unexpected money gift, you could remove the chocolates from any box of chocolates and simply replace with money in each section.
	I love this one, especially as I love puns too... fill a lightbulb with money with any message along the lines of "Here's to Your Bright Future!"
	This is very cute... if you know the couple well and know their favourite song, you could line the inside of a CD cover with money and re-insert the original CD paper cover.
	For fast food lovers only I guess but still very cute, replace chips with money for a fun wedding gift.
