What's your opinion on that? I don't see the big deal. I'd rather receive money as gift, and I'd rather give money as a gift. People say they don't like giving money as gift because it shows the value of the gift, and it may be too cheap or too expensive. Well in my opinion, I'd rather someone give me $20 in a card rather than some $80 toaster that I probably won't use!
Why do people feel the need to give gifts that they think the person should have, rather than giving a gift that person would want? I just don't understand the logic behind it.
What's your opinion? If you are against giving out money as a gift, then please explain why?
Also, people don't mind wedding registries, but are highly offended if a couple requests money. Why? What's he difference? Either way, they are still asking for what they want, so why saying you want money tacky, but setting up a registry isn't?
Last question :-) Who wrote the book of etiquette anyway? Shouldn't someone update it?
(I guess this is sort of a rant, but I am curious as to how other people feel about it)
