Cash in lieu of gifts would be appreciated. Thank you.
Reply:Well, I had a friend who got married, they already had everything they needed for their little apartment, so they had a "money tree" - they put a little poem on the invites that they didn't need anything but love in their little home, so if someone wanted to give them a gift, please bring cash to put on their money tree - then at the reception they had a little fake tree with clips on it and you clipped your money to it, or put it in a card and dropped it in a bucket.





For a 21st birthday? It's a little tacky, so just say that if they want to give a gift, cash is all you need. Might as well be tacky if you're going to be tacky, right?
Reply:I agree with bleweyez,and I don't think its rude to let people know what you want. I do it and my family thinks it makes it easier for them.That way they don't have to wrack their brains thinking of what to get you.People would much rather give you something you need and will use rather than giving you something useless.People can take it however they want you know everyone always has an opinion.Just be happy with whatever amount they give you even if its only ten bucks.Its the thought that counts. Plus Happy B-Day!
Reply:How about, "Don't bother buying me anything, 'cause I won't like whatever useless junk you decide I will like--just give me it's value in cash so I can blow it on the hotties at the bar I'll be drinking myself into alcohol poisoning with the night after the party?" Dare I assume you actually have better goals in mind for the money?





Some people actually put a lot of time and effort into selecting gifts for their friends--and a conscientious friend will include the gift receipt so you can return it if you don't like it. If they give you gift cards, you can take them to the place and attempt to cash them out. Either way, don't be so ungrateful. You're lucky you have friends at all.
Reply:to ask for any gifts, let alone request a specific gift, is incredibly rude.
Reply:You shouldn't say ANYTHING about ANY type of gift for a birthday party! .... You should just be grateful for what you get! If someone asks, you can tell them you prefer cash, but, other than that - say nothing at all! .....If you're really that rude and immature, you could always charge your guests admission!
Reply:It is incredibly rude and in poor taste to ask for a gift on an invitation.
Reply:I'm really surprised at how rude everyone is being to you. At least you're honest about what you want and that you really want to be as polite about it as possible. I honestly see nothing wrong with that. It's not like you're asking for a specific amount, either (or so I would hope not).





Really the only way to do it is if anyone asks you what you want for your birthday (which I'm sure they will or have), just say "Honestly? Just cash or a gift card would be fine."





There's nothing wrong with what you're asking as long as you are as polite about it as possible. Happy birthday!
Reply:You can't do that. It's beyond rude. I certainly would not come to a party for a person that asked for gifts at all. At your age..aren't expecting birthday presents a little immature?
