* No, this would be poor etiquette because it's a wedding or engagement. Giving to a charity is generally done when someone has passed away.
When a couple has requested no wedding gifts I have been known to send them a card stating that in lieu of a gift I made a contribution to a charity on their behalf. Couples are usually very appreciative
"Lieu of flowers" in an obituary means that the family is requesting that instead of sending flowers for the funeral, mourners can make a donation to a specified charity or cause in memory of the deceased. It is a way for family members to honor their loved one's memory through charitable giving.
Most if not all reputable charities will accept donations during the holidays. Before donating to a charity though I would make sure that the charity is reputable and trusted and that the money you donate goes to a cause you support.
Essentially, corporate gifts work as follows. In lieu of cash payment for services, one can receive gifts of monetary value. The value of these items will need to be recorded.
I would say, "Cash in lieu of gifts would be appreciated."
The noun lieu is uncountable. The plural form of lieu is also lieu.
That is the correct spelling of "lieu" -- used in the phrase "in lieu of" meaning "instead of."
Of course! Flowers are always appreciated at Mormon funerals and memorials. It is also becoming increasingly popular to donate money to a charity that the deceased would have supported and send a card saying that in lieu of flowers you donated money to that charity in their honor.
This is shameless grubbing. You might as well sell raffle tickets.(edit by a different user.)I honestly don't think it's bad. I would slightly rephrase it, such as:"...In lieu of individual gifts, the family and friends of the guest of honour have decided to pool for single large gift. - You are invited to participate at your pleasure"
It's considered quite acceptable in Chinese culture. Although the tone of the gift should be respectful.
