It's Kind of Weird to Put a $20 Bill in Your RSVP Envelope

Dear Uncle Ray,
I received your R.s.v.p. for our wedding today and I'm sorry you will not be able to attend. I also received the $20 bill you stuck in the envelope. Without a note of explanation, I can only assume that this is a wedding gift and hope you didn't accidentally put your phone bill payment in the wrong envelope. Financial times are tough and I appreciate your kindness, and you'll definitely get a thank you note from us.
Still, it's kind of weird to put a $20 bill in your R.s.v.p. envelope. I'm just sayin'.
Love,
Her

Haha! Hey, maybe he just wanted to give you a little something extra because he feels bad he can't attend. Perhaps another gift is forthcoming. You never know.
Is Uncle Ray old aged and has trouble reading? Maybe he thought it was an invitation to your eleventh birthday party.
We have yet to get our Thank You's in the mail... My wife and I married in May. Its bad I know, but they are out in our office and we're "waiting" for all the address from my mother in law.
YES, financial times are tough, and it was a blessing to receive the support from family and friends, lots of cool gifts and CASH ;)
Sweeeet Uncle Ray... saving himself a stamp and a card, apparently. Hey, at least he was thinking about you (apparently). Not all relatives can take the lead in fancy gifts and stuff, and at least you have the emotional insurance of knowing that he cares... or that he thought you were the phone company.

what i want to know is whose phone bill is only $20 bucks? a home phone (just the line, nothing else) will cost you $50 bucks a month!

Uncle Ray may very well have a $20 phone bill if he is senior citizen and has discounts.
Verizon is pretty cheap here for those over 65, and I am in NY, so anywhere else it might be cheaper than cheap
I love it! I may start doing this when I receive an invite to a wedding I can't attend. Maybe I'll toss in a note on the back of the RSVP card...

Oh, that's such a social faux pas, something I'll try to avoid when I'm a 65-year-old granny of 20 ;)
But still, it's kinda sweet.

Glad you got the cash. I was too cheap/lazy to buy a card and stamp.
Signed, Uncle Ray
