Something Old?? Something New??

Natasha Jarkas of Le Belle du Jour
weddings in San Francisco. Here's what she thinks: "With all honesty,
writing
what you had in mind is absolutely acceptable. To make it even more
polite, you
could even write: Your presence at our wedding is already a gift
to us, however
if you insist in contributing a gesture, we would greatly
appreciate money due
to limited space in our apartment."

I saw this from here comes the blog dot com. It is a blog site for brides looking for ideas and some indirect advice about wedding. The quote I captioned here on my blog interest me very much. I have been thinking that what is the real difference with registry gifts for your wedding versus the money gift that is no set minimum limit or high limit.
I thought that if you register of your wedding gifts you choose the gifts you want which are also high priced. Com' on don't tell me you don't think about the price when you scan that thing. I have been to many weddings and seen their list of gift wish list. Often, I give $100 put in card gift. It is all I could afford.
Plus, I talked to the bride and wonder what happen to the gifts that they got and did not get on their wedding. I was told that most of the gift that they got, they've return and bought a different item and or simply get the item that they really want that did not get (due to price) on their register later on.
I think it is a hassle to do this, why not simply give what the couple want, if they want money for a gift. I don't see anything wrong with that.
