Can I give a gift of money rather than a wedding present?

By Nina Callaway, About.com

Question: Can I give a gift of money rather than a wedding present?
Answer: Certainly. While it is inappropriate for an engaged couple to ask for money, it is always a nice wedding present. I suggest that you give cash or travelers checks with a note suggesting what they might use it for. “I hope you will use this to enjoy a meal during your honeymoon” or “I wanted to contribute to your savings for a new home.”
