Is your registry complete?

We're torn between doing a registry and not. FH thinks we should in case guests who can't make it want to give us something, but the Italian in me doesn't want to do a registry since no one in my family does that.

My fiancé and I have decided to skip a registry for the wedding and ask for monetary gifts instead.

We will be using my registry for our registry, it is definitely not complete yet. We have lived together for over 2 years and don't really need much. It is still a work in progress but I am hoping to have it "done" by the time we send out invites.

We're registered at My Registry, but haven't added items yet. We also set up a money fund for future house down payment, honeymoon funds, etc.

We are 24 days away so our registry is set. We are registered on Amazon. But weve been hearing people arent planning on using the registry which is super annoying because i spent hours planning, and picked what we needed carefully. We are low income and spent the money we would have used on home stuff on the wedding. Weve been living with no microwave or toaster for a month. Hopefully people shop off it. Fingers crossed

We are registered at the Bay. We don't need many things as we have lived together since we were roomates in college so we only have a handful of things on our registry.

Nope! We're not registered anywhere, as we'd prefer gifts of cash to put towards a down payment on our first house.

We used Huneyfund specifically because it's free - you can add the option to accept credit cards (through Paypal, though you have to have a business account - there is a paypal fee for this option). But there's no fee for your guest to pick a gift, print the certificate and give you cash or check.

https://www.honeyfund.com/wedding/peggyandjared is our registry, if you want to see what it looks like.

We are asking for cash only for our wedding so there will be no wedding registry. In terms of a bridal shower registry, none of my friends had one previously. Is this common?

Peggy, your idea of an online honeymoon registry sounds cool! What website did you use for it and is it free?

My fiance and I fiiiinally made it into Bed Bath and Beyond to do the Bridal Shower registry last week. We were there for 2 hours... and ended up only having "83% of enough gifts for a 40 person guest list".... geez louise.

We're ignoring that statistic though, as it's based off average wedding gift prices, whereas this is for a shower. We literally have less than 6 items over $100, and that's only for a select few aunts that may want to get those things.

Majority of ever thing is under $50.

Our wedding registry is simply asking for contributions to our honeymoon. We have everything we need for our home (maybe some upgrades down the road), but we've never traveled alone together. Our honeymoon will be our first real vacation together.

Most of our friends and family will do cash, so we did an online honeymoon registry where people can 'choose' a gift, print off a certificate for that item (dinner for 2, plane ticket upgrades, massage, etc) and include it with their card and cash/check.

We have a few older guests who will want a physical something, as well as having options for the bridal shower, so we did registry at Bed Bath and Beyond. We have about 200 items on there, ranting from about 8$ up to 700$. The more expensive items we put on because after the wedding, we can buy them ourselves for 20% off (since we know folks likely won't buy them for us, which is totally fine!)

We spent about 3 hours total in the store - the lady helping us was awesome, and fun. It took a bit but my fiancé eventually got into it and was adding more than I was!

I have started a few but its so easy to get carried away in there..... like do we really need that $500 plate set?? BUT ITS SO PRETTY! Haha!! Lots of work to do!

Nope! lol I haven't even thought about that just yet... My FH doesn't want one but perhaps when the time comes to creating one he will have a couple things on his list that he wouldn't mind others buying

As of right now we are new home owners so we had to buy majority of what we need.
