I recieved a wedding invitation in the mail. Addressed to me, not Dh and me. I opened it and had no idea who the couple was. I looked at the return card-instead of "will_____attend", or anything typical, it was for how much I can give as tzedakah towards the wedding.

I find this tasteless and tacky.

I threw it out!

Sounds like a scam.

I got something similar last week. On the back of the invitation was the back story. The chosson was an orphan whose father ran a charity for hachnasos kallah, and so on. I couldn't contribute but didn't find it an offensive way to ask for charity.

In the past, a family member has hosted "family re-unions" for which you have to pay a very steep entrance fee that she uses to support her kollel children. I did not attend... Throw it away.
