Gifts

Monetary gifts or gifts cab do since you don't need anything for the home. You can put the funds towards a honeymoon later on.

We still did a registry for gifts for those who wanted to buy a gift rather than money. We chose items that we wanted to upgrade as we already had everything we needed in our home.

My fiancé and I just set our date and both his family and mine agree cash and gift cards. That way it offsets the cost and we can use to our honeymoon!

People can choose to give you gift cards or cash. With cash, honeyfund charges a portion if they actually do it through the site, so my understanding is people normally check it off on the site that they're going to give you cash or cheques when they see you, and then they just bring the cash or cheques.

Does honeyfund actually give you the cash, or is it giftcards to use with their partners? I was trying to figure this out the other day... if it's giftcards only, where do I find the list of partners I can use them with?

Consider registering on a site like honeyfund, it lets guests earmark their gifts for specific spends but still give you cash.

I posted this message on our wedding website, if you already have a house it wouldn't apply but you could put what you would use the money for if there is something specific or just let them know that it would help to pay off the wedding

We will put monetary gifts preferred on our invitations. Just tell them that you aren't in need of anything but if they really want to get something they could put the money they would spend on a gift into a card. Ok that's not the best wording but something along those lines lol

We are in the same boat - we have everything we need. We would prefer gifts of money to help out with the honeymoon. We've decided to depend on word of mouth rather than straight out asking.

There is nothing greedy or rude about asking for money. Just tell everyone that have asked that instead of having a gift registry you would prefer receiving money instead of gifts because you have what you need for your home already. This is what my fiance and I will be doing. That way we can purchase something we want, or put it towards our wedding.

Good luck!

You could tell them that since you’ve lived together for a while, you chose not to register for anything and are open to other types of gifts. And hope they get the point from that, hopefully they don’t persist.
