How to ask for money for a wedding gift. That's got to be one of the most difficult things
to do when you're looking to get married. My name is Blake Kennedy, and I'm with Kennedy
Brothers Estate Services. When you're asking for money for a wedding gift, you've got to
ask yourself, how can I do this without anyone thinking I'm being rude? Because most people
want to get you that traditional gift for your wedding present. But what you need to
do is you need to only register with one store, and make that registry short. Put on the things
that you really, really do need. But there's going to be a lot of people that are going
to be going to that list, and once that list is filled up, they're going to be making phone
calls and wondering: the list is filled up, what can I get this person for a wedding present.
Who are they going to call? They're going to call the family, the relatives, the friends
that are in the wedding party, and ask, "Hey, there's nothing else on the list. What can
I get that person?" Well they're already going to know that what you need is money. So they're
going to put it in a nice, tactful way that, hey, what they really like is money. They're
looking to save up for this beautiful honeymoon that they're going on. And they're also looking
to save up for that first house. So everybody knows that's an expensive thing and that they
need help with that. So that's a great way to put it is put it back on the family and
relatives. And they're going to help you out with that by trying to ask for money for a
wedding present. Good luck with that. I'm Blake Kennedy.
