Chinese New Year Invitations

Me and my fiance main objective is to save enough money for our own place. We hope to have guests donate money to perhaps a mortgage bank under our name, but you do not know how to do it. We are both in Chinese and is in the guidelines of our culture to receive "red envelopes" containing money during important festivals like Chinese New Year or weddings but we do not want to offend the One of our clients who may not understand our request. So I have 2 questions:

1. How do I word our wedding invitations (do I include something like "We would like your contribution to our wedding gift to go towards our dream house."?)

2. Is there another way to go about this or is it just not a good idea? Honestly, we do not really need anything from Crate & Barrel or any other records and I do not think it makes no sense to register and then return later for all the money.

Please help. I'm really at a loss on how to address the issue.

I understand perfectly, and I usually give gifts of money, so the gift receiver can get what she wants. By doing this, there is also a negative side. Some would call indifferent, and lazy for not going with the idea of a "true gift. What I mean is that no matter what you do, you'll probably be criticized for your actions.
Personally, I do not "demand" for money instead of wedding presents other in a direct manner. What I want to make is that, since you have a list of guests, the friends and relatives of those invited know in an indirect way, by allusions to them that you prefer to receive cash rather How many things of little value, such as toasters, irons, etc. I hope this advice is of some help, and best wishes for your upcoming wedding.

I consider it bad taste to ask for money instead of gifts .. never ... not only for a wedding, but I watched these things so you can see what the "experts" have to say.

"It's always a sticky subject. There is no good way to ask for money. Remember, when you call, not for gifts, but because you want to celebrate with you.

However, people do not celebrate by giving you a gift. Well, tell your mother, your mother's future law, and officers of your preference. Let them spread the word. However, no record of items you would like to have as some people are uncomfortable giving money, but give you something that you would like. "
