[quote=Anonymous]I would hesitate to give cash because I wouldn't want to offend the couple. Many adults would be insulted to be given money by other adults. Even when the couple getting married are of the younger generation, if they are getting married, they are now adults. In addition, writing a check takes so little time and effort on my part that I would feel that I am saying that I don't value this couple enough to choose a meaningful gift for them. I can think of one exception: I went to the wedding of a couple who had both been widowed. They were combining full households, so they asked for no gifts for themselves but that if guests felt they wanted to give something, to please give to charities that did research on the illnesses that had caused the deaths of their first spouses. This was unselfish and meaningful and all the guests I spoke with were more than happy to write large checks to these organizations. [/quote]
