ExcitedEYE Unique Gift Shopping

For our wedding we don’t really want to register because we don’t need anything since we have been living together for the past three years. But we would love to accept money as a gift to pay for the honeymoon or put towards a down payment on a house. How do you word in a invitation that we arn’t registered but we want cash for our large expenses coming up?
OK, since everyone is trashing me on the subject, I’m the Matron of honor on this one and I was asking the question for the bride. I dont mean how can I ask for money in a formal invitation, I mean it more like for the shower. I’m going to be sending out invitations for her shower which is going to be a jack and jill and they dont need physical gifts. And everyone is trashing on this subject like she and I are unclassy to think that asking for money is wrong. It’s not like she wants to come out and say “I WANT MONEY” thats why we are asking, how should we got about this?
So if your going to write your unclassy and things like that then dont respond. I’ve seen it before that people note that money is accepted for help with honeymoon and such, welcome to 2009 people!!!
Thanks, just had to clear this one up for all you RUDE people that can’t respond nicely even though you have a difference of opinon.

birthday gifts

My mom is turning 50th next month and has special requested NOTHING BLACK. Soooo, of course i’m throwing a huge surprise party, putting on the invitations for everyone to dress in black, bring only *** gifts, and decorate all in black (hey, she has it coming).

But i need some funny games to play, and things to hand out to all the guests. Any ideas?

Or has anyone had a 50th bday party and has any good ideas or advice?

Thanks!
