[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Are they Asian? I'm married to an Asian and giving money at weddings is considered normal (gifts for a wedding are sort of odd in some Asian cultures!). If you like them, go and give money. If you don't like them, decline the invitation. But be aware that "tackiness" is culture-specific :)[/quote] [b] In America, it's tacky. We're not in Asia. [/b] [/quote] America has many cultures within it. Remember, America is not a melting pot of cultures, ie, the cultures or culture is not homogenous. In fact, America is like a salad bowl with different cultures represented in the different ingredients. These people can celebrate the way they want to. If they were in Asia they would not say anything. However, since they are in America, and since people will give a "meat thermometer" to a vegetarian couple, it is important to say "No boxed gifts".
