Trends At weddings, proffer cash, not kind Anna Peter
Mumbai , Aug. 25
According to a survey carried out by Mumbai-based WeddingSutra.com, a wedding planning portal and online wedding resource, today's brides and grooms would much rather receive cash gifts at their weddings rather than traditional items.
Forty-five of its poll respondents ranked "money" at the top of their wish lists.
And how did these couples expect their guests to spend?
Fifty-six of those polled expected their wedding guests to spend between Rs 50-500 on a gift and 14 per cent expected Rs 250 or less.
However, 26.5 per cent of them expected Rs 500 and over, and just 3.5 per cent expected gifts worth over Rs 1,000.
And what about the kind of gifts they wanted?
For 45 per cent of those to be wed, money was rated as their top choice of gifts.
Other gift choices were home décor (21 per cent), cooking equipment (19 per cent) and tableware (11 per cent).
Finally, books, CDs, 5-star dinner coupons and contributions to charity figured in the last 5 per cent of the votes.
