of asking our guests to bring a small monetary donation for the tsumani relief fund...do you think it would be rude of me to ask?

I am not sure, you could just maybe have a basket with some envelopes, with a notice you are raising money for tsumani relief, that way if anyone wants to they can do so without being put on the spot.

I would let people know you are accepting donations for it but not require it.

I understand where your heart is, but I would not ask guests for a donation.

Ditto Colette.
Your guests might not have the extra cash with it being so close after Christmas.

Maybe if you would have mentioned it a week ago it would be different.

Maybe you could bring up the subject at the party and say that you really want to do something to help. Maybe some of your guests will chime in and you can all coordinate an effort.

I have decided against it and will do my own thing. I think most people coming would be fine but there was the possibly that someone might not like the idea so DH and I have decided to do our own thing. Thanks for the input.
