A Nice Way To Ask For Money On An Invitation Nice Way In Asking For Money Towards Honeymoon Instead Of Gifts..?

Nice way in Asking for money towards honeymoon instead of gifts..? - a nice way to ask for money on an invitation

Me and my girlfriend do not live together, but we have everything we need to keep our house. I do not understand why some people have "insulted" or believes to be "rude" to ask for money for the honeymoon instead of gifts. Something like "we look forward, not the presence of this special in our day, but for those who want to make a gift, we'd love donations instead of for our honeymoon"
This is the invitation of my cousins. We live in 2009. What do you think? I am pleased to ask similar but different. Thank you:)
