Couples asking wedding guests for cash spark fierce debate over manners and tradition

Fox News · 3 hours ago

Actress AnnaLynne McCord and her fiancé, former rugby player Danny Cipriani, have prompted an etiquette debate after asking wedding guests to contribute money towards elements of their planned ceremony through an online registry. Critics described the request as inappropriate or overly commercial, while supporters argued that cash gifts can be more useful and transparent than traditional presents.

Their Honeyfund page reportedly lists contributions from $100 to $600 for costs including the marriage licence, drinks, photography, rehearsal dinner and flowers. The discussion reflects wider changes in wedding customs, as couples face high celebration costs and some guests question whether invitations should involve direct requests to fund the event.
