Honeymoon Registry?

Let them plan their little party but ask for help towards the honeymoon instead of physical gifts.

Me too, I just hope people follow it now lol

View quoted message Love the gift card idea!

View quoted message Thanks Leah! I'm super excited to learn from everyone and start planning!

Ideally we'd have a liquor registry, but know our parents wouldn't be happy about that, so we're forgoing a registry all together.

Congratulations on your engagement! Welcome to the Wedding Wire community!

I'm in a similar boat! I don't find the shower necessary, but my mom is putting one on for me.

Her suggestion was to do gift cards, so that way I can spend the money on what I want, but I still get something other than a cheque.

We're mostly doing this since I have to fly down for my shower and won't have room to bring stuff back with me on a plane.

I’d just have a shower and don’t put a registry. I think most people would know to gift money if there’s no registry ☺️

An amazon registry sounds fantastic!! You could even have people buy you things like toilet paper!! lol Something that you WILL NEED! (I assume...)

Very true. Where we live, there are no longer any places to register which is kind of sad! So I was also told when the time comes to think of an Amazon registry.

I've only ever attended the traditional wedding shower so all these ideas are knew to me. Now when starting to plan our own wedding their are so many options and lots to think about

I will be doing a small wedding shower for this reason as well

Although we will will have lived in our home for over a year by the time of the shower, I know that lots of my cousins won't be able to come to the wedding as it's 18+ (legal drinking age) so it's one way to try and involve them.

I did consider a honeymoon shower type of thing but it seems weird to me to ask for money for a trip when in my family the main purpose of a shower is so that the older family members can give you physical items.

I personally vote for having one and just maybe give a colour scheme for them to follow or register for things you will always need like more towels and maybe bigger items that they can all chip in to get you (like a really good vacuum or food sealer!).
