On the other note, Adsense isn't asking for money. It's more asking for time. Thanks for the comment!

This one contains terrible advice. Asking your guests for money is never okay. And all your guests do NOT care about every step of the wedding planning process. Really, they don't. Especially your neighbors and coworkers. Even if clicking on some links will raise you $2.00. A wedding newsletter will tell everyone that you are self-centered or have an inflated sense of self-importance. $5,000 is a very reasonable amount to spend on a wedding and I commend you for not assuming that a great wedding must cost $25K+. However that doesn't change the fact that asking your guests (or people you might not even invite, like neighbors!!!) for money is unacceptable. For what it's worth, we had a wedding for under $8,000, and our generous parents are sending us on a honeymoon. If we didn't have the money, we would have eloped. Oh, and our guests (fewer than 100) gave us more that $2500 in cash which was totally unexpected. You might count on people's true, unsolicited generosity. If they want to give, they will. Without being asked. Love, an Indiebride Some of your posts are great. This one contains terrible advice. Asking your guests for money is never okay.
