[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Am curious: if this is a South Asian cultural thing, is it normal to ask for cash at other celebratory occasions, such as a birthday, etc?[/quote] I've seen money as the primary gift given at most "cultural" weddings that I've attended (Indian, Chinese, Italian, Jewish). [b]However, I've only seen the phrase "no boxed gifts" on South Asian invites. I wonder why.[/b] [/quote] Pretty obvious: they are making it abundantly clear they want cash. The PP who said that the type of gift is something the giver decides and should not be dictated by the recipient nailed it and that is why the "no boxed gifts" instruction comes across as tacky and offensive. With a wedding registry, it states some preferred items but guests still have the option of giving something else, including cash.[/quote]
