It says "Presentation Wedding"...

[GunnerX]

It means dress properly for the wedding and don't show up wearing tattered jeans and a wife beater.

[15-20_God]

it means you have to make a speech or powerpoint presentation about the couple. Its an assignment.

[me!]

i first thought that it mean that the bride and groom already did their vows/ceremony and they are just inviting you to show them selves off

"Hey look guys, we're married!!"

[dalion]

it doesn't mean dress properly if thats what it meant then they would say "this even is black tie"

I'm not sure what 'presentation wedding' means I just hope thats not a typo HAHA

[cOmAtOaSt]

It means before the wedding there will be a 3 hour presentation on buying time shares.

[dalion]

LMAO

I was curious and googled it. This was one of the websites I came across. It looks like it's a polite way for the bride and groom to ask for money instead of gifts.

I did the same thing.

Obviously it's not a good way to ask for money if not many people know what it means! I didn't think anyone still bought wedding gifts. In my circle of friends, everyone registers gifts for the shower and the wedding is all cash.

I went one wedding and if a person wanted to dance with the bride or groom they pinned money on them. Don't know what custom that was, but you get the gifts and the money.

[dalion]

exactly.

how much money do you pin on the bride if you want the full package?

[Piccolo]

Lol I don't know about the bride, but I pinned $20 on the groom and only got 1/2 dance before someone else cut it.

You got jipped. 20 bucks usually gets you a full song. hope you didn't tip him.

How do I give the cash to them? Do I just put the cash in with the card? Also, can I put in a check instead? How much should I put in?

Ususally when you walk into the reception there is a frilly white box or a basket where you drop off the card with the funds enclosed. Make sure you sign the card ;)

Cash or cheque is fine.... if you do cash, try to get big bills ($50 or $100). For some reason it's looked down upon if you use 10s and 20s (I don't know why though - money is money). The standard for me giving is $100 per person (i.e. if it's me and a date it's $200) but it all depends on how lavish the reception is. You at least want to cover the cost of your dinner.

At one of my friend's wedding, someone wrote a cheque that later bounced. She called the guest up afterwards to let them know and they said they'd send a replacement. They never did and she has too much class to bring it up again. At another friend's wedding, a family of four showed up bearing an empty, unsigned card. How did he know it came from them? Easy - they went through the guest list and checked off everyone who brought something. That family was the only one left unticked. :D Needless to say, they won't be invited to another wedding. What sucked is the food cost $70 per plate... so my friends were out $280 and didn't even get a signed card in return.

Or taking bets on how long it will last.

Are we talking cost/benefit analysis for the presentation? Perhaps a SWOT analysis? Be sure to have handouts ready to go! :lol: :lol:

yep, anyone need a presentation, i have one prepared for a low price of $100, pics are included.

That's a Filipino custom. It stems from the poor regions where people usually can't afford to hold a large wedding. People pin money as their contribution to the wedding to help pay it off. Afterwards, there's usually gambling to raise more money.

[YLSF]

Never heard the term either myself... "Cash only" weddings/etc are kind of lame.. I mean, I would probably only give cash at an italian wedding for example but usually give gifts at my friends weddings..

[CodecX81]

sounds engrish ;)
