[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]South Asians take note. Don't invite the whites to the wedding. They will post about your invite, mock your customs and yet they will still be the ones offended.

I think the way to deal with this and not cause the sort of fracas you see on this subject is really simple:

- one option is not to invite whites or others who would not be able to relate to South Asian customs regarding gift giving
- if you are still going to invite them then don't include anything about gifts or boxed gifts or cash
- have a wedding registry just for those who are not comfortable with the South Asian way of doing these things
- for someone who does get such an invite and is uncomfortable with the type of gift, then either do not go or accept the invitation but don't give any gift

[b]It is difficult for even well-intentioned people not familiar with South Asian ways of doing these things to adjust to demands/requests for cash gifts.[/b]
