Would it be rude to take online donations to fund my wedding day?

Well what an idea, but who will donate funds for wedding day. Well if you are not able to raise funds for wedding day then how you will support your partner financially.

I was tinking about this one but I tought that it would be rude to ask people. What I am going to try and do is sell stuff through an online store and see what happens, and put that money for my wedding. I also have friends that have offered not only their services but help pay for it, since we don't have a lot of family and not a lot of money.

I don't think it rude at all! I think that, if I had the money and knew the person, I would donate something to the cause. It would be fun! Hmmmmmmm....who's gettin married?

It depends if u r taking money from ur family then its ok but if u r taking money from strangers then its absolutely wrong,u cant take money from anybody to make ur marriage fancy,if u don't have money then make a budget and try to spend less on wedding

Do you mean online donations from family and friends or from strangers? Well i dunno, each to their own I suppose. We preferred to pay for our own wedding and family members helped out anyways and gave a little bit here and there, but i've never gone out to ask them to contribute $$ to the actual wedding itself. The only thing we did ask for on the invitation was for monetary gifts instead of gifts as we were moving to Samoa from New Zealand. I made sure it was ok with my family first before we went ahead and put it on the invitations.

If its from your family or community maybe thats ok, but to take online donations all over the internet for your wedding day... i think thats a bit too much. I know that there are lots of expenses in having a wedding, and there are some people out there who can afford to donate to such functions, but before getting married, you should at least prepare youself for the financial aspect of this event, yes it nice that your getting married and congratulations, but its your wedding, your responsibility. Well, that's just from my personal point of view. =)

I think that it depends on who you are asking for these donations. In the event that it is family and friends who will be invited to your wedding, then no. Go for it. Include a little note in a save-the-date notice that says something like "In lieu of gifts, monetary donations to be put toward the reception can be sent to...." or something of that nature. But I think it would be kind of tacky and inappropriate to ask for money from people you don't know, or people who won't be invited to the wedding/reception anyway. If you are really tight on cash, look for ways to cut down expenses. My family members/aunts all donated a dish to the reception and we had an extremely delicious home-cooked meal. It was their gift to us!

Do you mean from friends and family? If so, I don't think that's unreasaonable. Historically, the couple being married has never borne the burden of wedding expenses -- it's always been covered by their families or by the community. It's hard enough for a young couple just starting out to get on their feet financially without the added financial burden of a wedding. That said, maybe you could scale back your celebration in small ways to make it more affordable if you're having trouble?
