registry or money

i know lots of brides are doing registries. i wanted that to but i feel like we almost have everything in the house! so do u ask ur guests for monetary gift or what else can u do beside the registry ? dont know ! help

I don't think it is appropriate to ask for cash.... in my crowd its a big no-no. Why not use a registry like myregistry.com that allows guests to give the cash towards a gift. In actually it just goes in your account and you can do with it as you please.

My SIL intentionally registered for very few things b/c she really wanted money but didn't want to ask for it. Personally, I NEVER give cash for a shower - NEVER. For the wedding that's all I give but I'm weird about the shower. She did get a good amount of cash but many people also just got her gift cards to the places she registered at since there was not enough items on the list. I don't know what's best but outright asking for money is probably not the best way to go.

tks for the idea

why don't you use www.depositagift.com? it's a registry, but it's for cash gifts. you can make a gift list of anything so that guests are still giving a specific gift. it works really well and we love the service.

here's how it would work if you had a shower: http://www.depositagift.com/blog/weddings/ask-dana-how-do-you-throw-a-shower-with-a-non-traditional-gift-registry/

How about a honeymoon registry? I should have asked for cash because i still have all those wedding presents in garage.

I did a SMALL registry at BBB for the 14things I wanted/needed we also live together, then there are some etsy stuff and some zgallerie stuff, My sister/MOH is including it with the SHOWER invitations, since it's such a small list...

We both had households before we met.  I donated a lot of stuff when we moved in.  If he had a nicer toaster, than I gave mine away for example.  However, neither of our stuff was "very nice." We had nice stuff but not VERY nice stuff.  Plus, the stuff that we have had, we have had for a while.  I took the opportunity to register for NEW and VERY NICE items that we can hopefully have for a lifetime.

However, I still want a nice amount of cash too! :)

We are having a presentation preferred wedding. We have lived together for two and a half years now, we don't need much. Where I am from it is a little more acceptable to ask for money. Mostly because us Canadians are cheap ;) (Hello, nowhere else has wedding socials!! And even that is highly localized in Canada)

What I think I am going to do is either include a card separate from the invitation that says we prefer a presentation, but we have also registered at XYZ (don't know where yet).

Some people just don't believe in giving money for a wedding, which is why we are registering at one place.

We are registering on amazon.com only, and only for things we really need. Otherwise I'm hoping most people will give cash or even nothing, we're flying into our wedding so I can't be shipping everything I get home!
