Where is the honeymoon? Cardiff, Cornwall, Corfu, Canada, Cayman Islands?I am going to be maid of honour for my best friend soon. They want honeymoon money as a present. How much do you think is appropriate? She is a bit snobby! Also my husband is attending too if that influences decisions.
Thanks in advance for any pointers, I am awful with stuff like this!
She can't be too snobby if she's willing to beg for holiday spends because they've over extended themselves on the wedding costs.I am going to be maid of honour for my best friend soon.

Why would anyone ask for honeymoon money from a maid of honour? I don’t get it! As a MoH, you’re already investing a lot of time, energy, and effort into her wedding. Are you comfortable with giving her what she asks for?I am going to be maid of honour for my best friend soon. They want honeymoon money as a present. How much do you think is appropriate?

Just give her the amount you would have spent in a present.
This. Exactly this.She should gratefully accept what is given
I completely agree. I got a wedding invitation a few years ago which stipulated "No gifts. Cash only". Not even a please! I didn't go to the wedding (not just because of this, I didn't particularly like the couple) and didn't give them anything either.She can't be too snobby if she's willing to beg for holiday spends because they've over extended themselves on the wedding costs.
Call me old fashioned but I don't give a damn how commonplace it's become to ask for money instead of wedding gifts. It's a rude, crude, crass and tacky thing to do. They'd be getting a toast rack or a set of candle sticks off me & if they didn't like it they could shove both the gift and the "friendship".
It's rude to point out that you want 'money only'. It puts a lot on pressure who may not be able to afford to give a large amount as a gift.It's not crass at all, many couples are living together before they get married these days and so don't need a gift list in it's traditional sense. Some views on here are out dated and old fashioned.
I’ve asked for money as I have everything for a house that I could possibly need and I hate mismatch items. My wedding has cost under £2,500 for around 30 guests - we could have gone for a higher budget but thought what’s the point. All paid in full no borrowing money etc. If people have a problem with giving money just give us a card better than some tat we wouldn’t useShe can't be too snobby if she's willing to beg for holiday spends because they've over extended themselves on the wedding costs.
