I live in an area that still does Dollar Dances at receptions, and huge cash gifts are given at graduation. I really didn’t blink at this idea. Especially because they are an older couple, they probably don’t need another toaster or place setting, but those extras on a honeymoon would be great.
I was much more offended when a rather wealthy classmate on a full-tuition scholarship of DS did a GoFundMe to pay for her semester abroad.
