The burning question*: Do you give cash or a voucher as a wedding present?

It’s Monday, so let TheJournal.ie distract you from the serious news with one of life’s REAL dilemmas. (*not really)

WE KNOW HOW you feel. The week is stretching out in front of you and you have a lot on your plate

So do like we do here in TheJournal.ie HQ and get stuck into a serious debate on one of life’s most pressing questions.

This week: It’s meant to be one of the happiest days of your life – but that’s not always the case for guests. The perennial question of what to give a couple who don’t have a wedding list has caused a surprisingly vocal discussion in the office here today, leading to a split of Berlin Wall-esque proportions.

So this week we’re asking: is it ok to give cash to a couple getting married, if they haven’t specified what they want? It helps go towards the cost of the wedding – but is it a bit, well, thoughtless? Or is a voucher the safer option?

So do you:

A: Give cash, or…
