Q.  Can we ask for money instead of gifts? --Mt. Pleasant, SC

A.   There is no correct way of wording wanting money instead of a gift in the invitation.  The only way that you can do is tell your friends and family.  Have them spread it around that you prefer money because you two are saving for a house.  If they don't give you money and get you a gift, accept the gift and thank them graciously.

Q.  Does a meal have to be served at an evening wedding?  I am getting married at 7pm. --Georgetown, SC

A.  For a wedding at that time, yes.  You should serve a meal.  However, if you decide not to serve a meal, on your invitation, you should put something so people know what to expect like " Appetizer Reception" or "Dessert Reception".

Q.  I don't want small children at our ceremony.  How do I get that around to everyone? --Florence, SC

A.  You can only put the adult's names on the inner envelope of the invitation.  Some people will still bring their children.  About the only thing you can do is have a babysitter on-site at your church to have young children looked after.  You could get some coloring books and crayons for them.  Some brides also put "Adult Only" on their invitation, but some people still bring their children.
