(Closed) Are wedding gifts tacky if we're legally married?

Okay, me and my husband got married at the court house in July 2013, and are having our actual wedding THIS july. My question is: I know it is acceptable to ask for monetary gifts, but since we’re already married, does it look tacky to ask? Our next step is purchasing our first home, and thought maybe a note of asking for monetary gifts could be included in the invitations (which is what a friend of mine did, but she wasn’t already legally married). 

 

So, if you were a friend and received an invitation, would you think it was tacky or inappropriate? Do you have any other etiquette tips for our situation?

It’s always considered forward to ask for money. I wouldn’t register and everyone will probably give you money anyways.

Definitely don’t mention money or gifts anywhere. if someone wants to bring a gift they will don’t ask though
