JUNE is for Brides

Cash and gift cards are now an acceptable and welcome form of gift at weddings and wedding showers.

Remember when wedding registries were filled with bed linens and kitchenware?  Today many modern brides and grooms already have a house filled with such staples.  They prefer monetary gifts that they can put toward a down payment on a house or to help pay for their honeymoon.  Why not deliver the gift cards or cash with a personal touch inside a hand-made gift-card holder?
