How to plan a graduation party for a kindergartner and announce a money tree?

Dear Polite One,

We are hosting a party to honor our daughter's kindergarten graduation. She has many family and friends who have participated in her life and would enjoy such a milestone celebration.  Since she doesn't need toys, we want cash gifts for her future.

How do we inform guests of our wishes?  We will also have a money tree at the party.

Dear Proud Mom,

This is very confusing as it is far from a gift-giving event.  It's just not done and may be equally confusing to your guests.  Moreover, requesting cash, in any form, especially for a non-gift-giving event may appear as greedy.  It may appear as if you want others to provide for your daughter's future when it is your responsibility.  Please also note that a money tree is never done anymore.  All of this is just not good manners. 

Sincerely

The Polite One
