My   fianc\u00e9 and I have found a few websites set up for this purpose. We\u2019ve been   together for eight years, and we don\u2019t really need a bunch of new gadgets,   pots and pans. But we could definitely use cash to help us pay for the   wedding, our honeymoon and our life together.A I\u2019m no elderly hen and the less traditional folks   will surely disagree with me, but I find it quite tacky. And many of your   guests might find it equally offensive. If you\u2019re in need of some Benjamins   (aren\u2019t we all?), why not register for honeymoon assistance? There are dozens   of sites for this, but I like HoneyFund.com since   there are no fees attached to it. It still might ruffle some guest\u2019s   feathers, so be sure to also register for some new-fangled gadgets or new pans   (think of it as an upgrade on what you already own). As far as wanting cash   to pay for your wedding, it sounds like you might be planning a celebration   beyond your means and you might need to scale back your plans or do some of   it yourself.
