Delivery depends on the seller and your city; confirm with them before ordering.
Why it works as a gift
Cash in a decorated envelope, amount conventionally ending in 1 (₹501, ₹1,101, ₹2,101) — the single most reliably wanted wedding gift in what people actually say, and GiftScene doesn't try to sell the cash itself, only the envelope.
Who it's good for
Who should skip it
- A family where cash gifts aren't the custom — ask someone close to them if you're unsure
How to choose
Embroidered, printed or personalised.
What to check
- Match the amount to the relationship and to what your family usually gives; the envelope carries the thought.
- Write your name clearly — couples receive many envelopes and want to know who gave what.
- Use crisp notes, and add the one-rupee coin if your family follows the custom.
- Amounts ending in 1 — ₹501, ₹1,101, ₹2,101 — are traditional; the extra rupee is considered auspicious.
