The Bride And Groom Wedding ListWedding gift traditionGuests brought a present for the lucky couple to show thanks for being allowed to join their celebartions. Wedding gifts were usually given to the bride and groom to contribute toward their new home and life together. Now days so many couples live together first that they have most household items already, this makes it difficult to find that ideal gift. Maybe some of the alternative ideas on this page will help. What about adding a note inside your wedding invite suggesting a wedding list with a difference. Ask your guests to give you something with a topic or theme. Something to read, something to drink, something to touch... the list of ideas are endless. Here is an unusual wedding gift list idea and it may be a refreshing change for your guests. Wedding etiquette for gifts - It is usually considered rude if you ask for cash gifts, but you could use some of the ideas on this page to get around that

"For a couple of years we’ve lived in sin, we have a toaster, a kettle and a stainless steel bin, saucepans and towels we have many, corkscrews and flannels we don’t need any, we just want you with us to celebrate our day, but if you insist on a gift anyway, what we’d really like is a gift of money, we hope you don’t think we’re being funny! We’ll put it all together and buy something that’s best, as a reminder of our day and our wonderful guests!” Money? Toaster? Towels? Electric Knife??!! More and more couples are leaning towards asking for cash as a wedding gift, a recent survey has shown that only 22% of couples have the traditional gift list! I spent some time looking at wedding forums who discussed the topic of giving cash as a wedding present and it was shocking to see how many people find it ‘awkward’ ‘embarrassing’ or even ‘vulgar’ !! It is a hot topic and obviously an area which needs to be addressed, however sweet the poem is the fact is you are asking for CASH! More often than not the money is used to go towards the Honeymoon, the dream vacation, but after the money goes in that card who knows where it ends up being spent? With this in mind Wedding Travel Planners created ‘Honeymoon Miles’ a more acceptable way of giving cash as a gift. 
They offer a completely new service in the UK market; a wish list service which is entirely independent and allows users to create a wish or gift list from anywhere and everywhere. The free to use service consists of a website and barcode scanning iPhone app. Users can simply scan the barcodes of things they would like to add to their list, and are presented the Top 5 cheapest places the item can be found from on Google, and the wish list is updated. Like the website, lists can be shared by Facebook, Twitter or by email. Although the app works in tandem with the website, either can be used independently depending on the users preference.
