[b] if it is a cultural difference and most people from that culture will give money anyway, why the need to be so obvious and tasteless about it? Why not just accept graciously what is given: money from those who choose to give it, gifts from those who don't?

Ember I agree with this statement wholeheartedly, and it was exactly my thoughts when I decided that I didn't want to have a "Money Shower"
I just think that the way we say it sometimes makes a difference.  I mean, when someone says that your wedding or anything about it is tacky, it hurts feelings.  I'm not here to do that, but I find myself so angry sometimes that I want to spit blood!  Can't people be a little bit kinder when talking to other BTB's that are probably under a lot of pressure and stress already.  I mean if I were to make a list of what I thought was "tacky" I think I would probably hurt the feelings of 75% of the brides on these boards... and that's not fair

alright, after re-reading everything, including my own post, I've come to the realization that:

a. a money shower is not necessarily a money grab

b. if it's a tradition, it's a tradition

c. I really don't like the word tacky.
