  I would not "ask" for money. But you could let your parents and bridal party know that it is the preferred gift. That way if someone asks one of them what you want, they can respond with something like, "Well steve and sue are currently saving for a car so I know money would be really helpful" or something like that
  
  But downright "asking" for money would be very tacky IMO

  No.
  
  Ditto Nanner.
  
  We were saving for hardwood floors.  So, I told my close friend at work that was what we were saving for.  She, in turn told all of the other work people, and they all gave us moola to go towards our floors.

  Ditto to previous posters, you NEVER ask for money directly.  Keep in mind, it isn't required your guests even give you a gift.
  
  If yoiu are needing the money towards a house or honeymoon, you can also register for that, as nowadays, you making companies set up registrations.
  
  Hope that helps you!

  someone came up to me one time to see if their couple was registered.  I couldn't find them in the system and decided to read the invitation.  It said at the bottom...."in leiu of gifts, the couple will accept Visa GC, MC GC, AMEX GC, Checks and Cash."  I thought it was weird that they just upfront and said YEP we don't want gifts just money.  so yea..don't ask for money directly.  I have seen people register for a Honeymoon fund which is like money.  good luck!!

  
  Miss!! + Mrs!!!
