Now wedding guests can leave a gift for the bride and groom in the wedding hall via a credit card machine subtly installed by the entrance. Procrastinators read on, that is, if you have your wallet handy.
According to news sources, guests at an Israeli wedding hall in Jerusalem can now leave a gift for the bride and groom by inserting a credit card into a machine installed at its entrance.
According to Aya Alon Kaufman of the Gan Oranim Hall in Tel Aviv:
It's very convenient ... Guests can give a gift even if they forget their chequebooks.
She told Israel’s Channel 10 television that couples pay about $155 dollars to rent the device, which has the nerve to resemble an automated teller machine. The machine prints out a deposit slip with the name of the guest on it. This can then be put in an envelope along with a note and inserted into a slot, which will allow the couple to retrieve it. The recorded funds are transferred into the couple’s bank account the following day.
This brings technology to a new and very personal frontier. Soon they may come up with a machine that along with a deposit slip and a slot for retrieval will also print out a thank-you note from the couple, stamp it and mail it out to the guest who donated the money!
Go figure
