Would you deposit a gift?

Since being in the wedding industry I have been asked by clients on many occasions, how do you let people know that you would prefer monetary gifts in lieu of an actual gift without offending people?.  This is a touchy subject...but there IS a way - there is a cool tool called Deposit a Gift where anyone can make a deposit at anytime.  So whether you are a Wedding Guest, Bridal Shower invitee or want to shower a new Mom-to-Be with a gift for her precious little one, this is a creative way to do it!

A personalize website is created for the "guest of honor" with a customized, memorable and unique URL. Guest can start to load funds to your account via a secure website.  They state that withdrawing money is FREE, in most cases, with no restrictions and is very easy to do.  There are several ways you can CASH OUT - ACH Direct Deposit, International Wire Transfer ($40 Bank Fee),  or Personal Check.

I have not encountered any clients that have used this site, but the next time I am asked about a unique way to ask for cash, I will definitely refer them to this site to research and determine if this is something that will work for them.

If you would like to learn more about this cool tool here is a link to their FAQ's:
