Registry or No Registry?

Hi,

No registry for us, but monetary gifts are welcomed.

We made a zank you website just incase anyone asks about a registry or gifts but decided we wont be posting about it or sharing it unless asked

We are doing no registry and are kindly asking for cash if the guests feel so inclined to give a gift

Yeah, I think we are going to set up a honeymoon fund. A lot of our guests that know about the elopement are still asking about a registry.

That is the thing, even though we have told a few people about our future small wedding and the explained to them the costs we are still getting questions about a registry. I think I may add it on the wedding website just incase.

We're another older couple who moved out long ago, and have lived together for several years. He has also been married once before.

On our website, I put this poem that I found online:

"We've been together for a while,
And have a lovely home.
There are not too many things
That we don't already own.
So please don't be offended,
And please don't think we're brash,
But if thoughts were on a present,
We would much prefer the cash.
But the choice is really up to you,
As we would like to say
That the best gift we could receive
Is you, here, on our special day.

-----

Funds received on our wedding day will go towards home improvements: upgrading our backyard into an oasis, and renovating our basement bathroom."

I am not doing a registry as my FH and I live together and we are grown folks lol. we have this o our website

As we are so lucky to have a home together, we have decided not to set up a registry. While having you at our wedding is all that we wish for, contributions towards our future together will be greatly appreciated

We are in the same position so no registry or shower here as well

We never bothered setting up a registry because I didn't have a bridal shower. We already have a house and kids. There was just no point in one for us.

We didn’t do a registry but still mentioned that monetary gifts were welcomed. Even if people are travelling to your wedding. They should at least leave you guys a decent amount of money… That’s just how I see it. You both are spending way more than your guests at the end of the day… Going empty handed to a wedding doesn’t sit well with me 😅

I wasn't going to create a registry (I honestly wasn't even sure they were still a thing) but then had a couple people ask for one so I just created a very small one on My Registry. We also had people travelling in, so this is how I ended up wording it on our wedding website:

We're not doing a registry. We put in our invites this: as we don't have a gift list for all of you to see as we have everything we need in our home. Your presence at our wedding is a gift by itself. If you want to give nonetheless a monetary gift is one we suggest

Personally, with the amount they may have to spend to come to the wedding, I wouldn't ask. Those who want/are able to put money towards your honeymoon or buy something for you both will ask.
