My bridal shower is coming up this weekend, and I know certain guests (my grandmother's siblings, a few of my parents friend) are going to just give us money. My fiance thinks that we should save any and all money we receive for shower or wedding gifts to pay for our upcoming move; I feel that if it is a shower gift, the gift giver wants us to buy something useful or special that we will keep, not use the money to pay rent or buy gas. What do you guys think?

If this was true they would've given you a gift card. It's cash- spend it as you wish and when you thank them let them know what it's going towards.

We received money at our wedding. We used some of it to buy the things we really wanted off our registry. The rest we are saving and will either use as needed or to buy new furniture for our house.

Honestly, we'll probably use shower gifts of money towards our honeymoon as that is the one thing we'd love to have a larger budget for. I would never ask someone to contribute to my honeymoon; however, I feel like if they wanted me to buy a blender with it, they would have bought me the blender on my registry.
