Would you put out a honeymoon jar to collect cash at your wedding?

    I think people want to know what you would like to give you. If you have your household items already, and if the nride& groom would like their first time honeymoon where its a highlight of a beginning for them, as a guest if they didn't ask for gifts& just money, I would happily contribute knowing that its going towards something they need together. Instead of a glass plate they accept but secretly don't like. If they arent financially able to ever get away; man hey asian weddings give red envelopes with whatever they can afford, 5$ sure, all is toward the newlyweds to pay off wedding expenses if there any, and to go towards their special honeymoon. :). Im contributing toward my friends honeymoon jar coming up. They're younger than I and I want them to enjoy themselves.

    I think it's so tacky to ask for even more money after your guests have either given a money gift or gone out and bought an item. They drove to your wedding, may have had to take time off work, may have needed to pay a babysitter, and brought a gift, and you still want them to shell out more money?

    I have never been to a wedding that didn't have a dollar dance. Maybe it's just the area I live in but people come to weddings expecting to give a few dollars to the bride and groom. It is even starting to be quite a common occurrence to auction off the garter. So I see nothing wrong with setting out a honeymoon jar. But that's a decision each bride needs to make based on the area she lives in and what she thinks her guests would find acceptable.

    I don't have a problem with having a honeymoon registry, but I don't really like the idea of having a honeymoon jar or even a money dance (which I have never seen before) at a wedding. By this point your guests have already bought you presents at your bridal shower, in many cases bought new dress/suit for your wedding, have arrived at your wedding with a generous gift and then they see an additional place to give you money. And I understand that some people might think well they don't have to give money, but I know I would feel like I should if it was me, you don't want to make your guests feel uncomfortable. I say use some of the money you get at the wedding toward your honeymoon and call it a day.

    I don't see how it's any different than a money dance, where guests put money in a jar to "pay" for a dance with the bride or groom. It's fun and I don't think people would feel pressured to give it they didn't want to. And hey, for the quests who forgot to bring a gift, they can donate to the honeymoon!
