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.
, 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
