second wedding

[nevbell]

my son is marring a girl that has been married previously. They are in their late 30s and both have had homes so there is no need for wedding gifts but they would like to ask for cash for their honeymoon. Is this O.K.?

[Konstanse]

Most definately! There are a lot of couples now days that do not need anything for their home. There was an article in Modern Bride (I think) last year that commented on this. What some couples are doing is setting up a bank account/mutual fund where anyone can deposit into that particular account whenever they want. This type of giving has also been used to help pay for the actual wedding. Why should anyone ask for things they do not need...and may not have room for? I hope this helps.

My sister's son is remarrying and she is just wondering how weird it is to see him again down the aisle..I mean, she is jus afraid that all will end up badly. I gave them cash itself as gifts, they will know better how to use the money!

Why the heck not. Just because they have been married before doesn't mean that they shouldn't get congratulation gifts. I think that's perfectly fine, as many couples are now registering with their travel agencies for honeymoon money help

I agree with bridalgirl. And I've had friends who got money for their honeymoon.
