Is it appropriate to give money? Absolutely, if that?s your preference. What?s not appropriate is asking for a gift of money. This is considered very bad wedding gift etiquette. While gifts of any kind are a must for those attending the wedding, it is never acceptable for the happy couple to request money over other types of gifts.

My other question is that if one can afford to get married in a church in an exclusive community, and hold one's reception at a very expensive five star hotel, and was able to buy a house and furnish it, why is there a need to ask for "enveloped gifts" in lieu of traditional gifts? Guests are expected to give wedding presents, but to specifically state what you want, particularly money, some (me! me! me!) may be offended. I rather like what friends of mine did. They said, since they have everything they need, instead of giving them a gift for their wedding, they gave the guests the option to donate to their favorite charity.
Envelopes are too expensive. Unless, one can send an envelope containing a card saying, congratulations.
