Wedding gifts - Money or Meaning?

Between the two of us Adam and I have 9 weddings this year...MA MA! Thinking proactively about gift giving, I struggle with giving cash money, or a gift that has more meaning. I know if I were getting married that money would be my pref (you know a dollar makes me holla honey boo boo child!), but I also think its nice to have mementos years later that carry that special meaning. I can still remember my parent's champagne flutes from their wedding sitting on a shelf in our house most of my childhood. And the wall mirror and candle stick holders my Uncle Beaver gave them as wedding gift. When I get money for a birthday I typically end up spending it on something stupid like groceries or....booze. 


We are two weddings deep and cash money has been the theme. I mean, between all these weddings, who has time to think about gifts with meaning. 


So what's your preference, cash or class? 


(This video really has nothing to do with the post, but its too good not to relive. Here's hoping the Countess pulls another hit out this season of RHNY.)
