Wedding Cash Gift - Unimaginative?

Most of us know that a wedding can get pretty expensive. So it's not unusual for the couple to ask their invited guests for a wedding cash gift.

And although cash gifts are often considered "unimaginative" and the giver is often accused of not having put any thought into it, a few out-of-the-box ideas can easily turn one into something truly special and a real eye-catcher!

Wedding cash gift - money cards are yesterday's news!

We've all surely received the usual greeting cards with a few nice words and cash inside, or the boxes of chocolates with a bill taped to the lid, for a birthday at some point. This way of giving money isn't really anything special, though, and it has no personal touch or anything that makes the giver recognizable. But what options do you have to make giving money something extraordinary? To really delight the couple, you can find all kinds of products online that make giving money prettier. But you don't have to buy such products online at all. To give the gift a truly personal touch, you can easily make a wedding cash gift yourself at home with a few creative ideas.

Wedding cash gift - ideas to copy

One way to give money creatively would be, for example, to fold the bills into hearts, butterflies or little birds to fit the wedding theme and arrange them with decorations of your choice in a mason jar. The nice thing about this idea is that it is as easy to carry out as it sounds, and the gift-giving guest doesn't need an artistic streak to pull it off.
Another great idea is to make a bouquet of bills instead of handing the couple a bunch of real flowers. All you need for this is kebab skewers or straws and the money. First the bills are folded into rose heads. If that feels like too much, there are countless tutorials online that explain step by step exactly how it works. Once all the bills are folded into rose heads, you attach them to the skewers or straws. To make sure you don't damage the bills with any glue, use Scotch tape, since it comes off the paper easily. Now you can choose whether to tie the money roses together at the stems with a ribbon or to put the whole thing in a small vase. Either way, this kind of wedding cash gift is something very special too.
