Though demonetization had hit the country from early of November, wedding season of 2016 has started off on a great note. Few bachelors and bachelorettes have decided to tie knots this year-end, in spite of money crisis, whereas some have opted to postpone their marriage till the money issue has been solved properly. The Indian Government has banned Rs 500 and Rs 1,000 currency notes completely which has upset many of the to-be couples and their families. They don’t have enough cash on hand to cover the expenses of venue, decoration, catering, and other important purchases which may not accept credit/debit card, or cheques.
Present Cashless Gift to the Couple (Young And Thrifty)
In order to avoid gifting cash in envelopes for bride-bridegroom in their wedding, we are here to help you with cost-effective tips for cashless gifts in the ongoing wedding season!
- Gift Vouchers: You can gift your dear friend or close relative with a gift voucher for a specific brand or retail outlet which she/he often likes to visit. It can be a gift voucher for a jewelry showroom as her wedding gift. You can bring that voucher with your debit card. She can thus have the freedom to select her preferred jewelry item of her choice, and at the same time stay cashless herself.
