Housewarming Money Tree?

RE: Housewarming Money Tree? By Joan (Guest Post) hi, I have a friend that would like to give her H/warming party in Feb. she already has mostly everything already set up in her home. How does she go about asking for money? or gifts. Posted on 01/26/2009 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: Housewarming Money Tree?

By camo_angels (599) Profile Contact You want to hear tacky, I was invited to one (I had already bought the present) and all I asked was if you'd like me to bring a dessert or dish (potluck style) and she said no, just a gift is fine.

Please don't ask for it. Posted on 05/11/2006 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: Housewarming Money Tree? By camo_angels (599) Profile Contact I like the wishing well idea, and let people know ahead of time that gift cards at Home Depot, Lowes, Sears are acceptable. Alot of times people will ask what you need, and these are great for home emergencies, and can be combined as a down payment on major appliances. Don't ask for it, that is tacky I agree. But if you have a "registry", and all it has are major appliances, isn't that just as bad? I think family and friends are very forgiving, and would not be offended if you don't waste their time and money. Posted on 03/27/2006 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: Housewarming Money Tree? By Jan (Guest Post) Hey. honey, this is simply asking for money and it is strange i saw this today. a friend whom i used to work with is going to give one of her daughters a housewarming sometime in April and is planning on doing this. i emailed her back and said that was not a good idea. just my opinion though!!!

If it is presented in this type of way then I think it is ok. However if you present it as a house warming party then like everyone has said its not cool to ask for money.

By Love Moore (Guest Post) I think that it is appropriate to have a wishingwell housewarming if your home is already furnished. I'm doing it but it's hosted by my sister and a friend. It's probaly better if the invite is coming from someone else or use www.evite.com to send invitations. I would include this in my invitations stating that monetary gifts are prefered just like wedding receptions. Good Luck! Posted on 11/27/2004 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: Housewarming Money Tree?

By ALOHA FROM HAWAII (Guest Post) I agree with it being tacky to ask your family and friends to give you gifts and money. If you've been hinting it around, they should know. If they get you gifts that you don't want, simply return them for store credit and get what you truly wanted or need. There's no need to be greedy at this point in our lives. Posted on 08/16/2004 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: Housewarming Money Tree? By FlaKathy (77) Contact If someone were hosting the housewarming party for you, this would be acceptable. Unfortunately, I believe the answer to your question is no. Etiquette says one does not ask for gifts or money for oneself. Times, they are a-changing and many people may disagree with me but I still think it is tacky to invite someone to your home and ask for a gift and/or for money. I, for one, would be offended. The only suggestion I have in this case is that perhaps you have a friend to whom you can strongly suggest you need money for major appliances and she might pass the word around. Enjoy your party AND your new home! Posted on 09/16/2003 | Report Spam or Abuse
