Is this wrong ?

So my son is going to be 1 in December. Me and his dad have created a college fund for him. He has more then enough toys and since he is still so little we were gonna ask that people donate something to his college fund. Is that trashy ? We said that they dident need to bring any gifts but if they wanted to get him a present that we would love to add to his future. My family is saying that looks like were begging for money but we just wont people to come. I dont care if they dont bring anything. What do you think ?
