Second marriage

My cousin got married twice and people just brought envelopes for them. i wouldnt specify anything and let people choose what they want to bring or how much they can afford

Thank you very much for all of your advice. My fiancé and I have chosen to add a little insert stating that " their presence are the only presents we need. If you wish to buy a gift please consider donating to one of the two charities we have care the most about....". Thanks again all of you.

I would say that as long as you aren't having a bridal/wedding shower that there isn't any need to register for anything. If anybody asks you could always suggest they gift you their favourite board game or gift card to a specific place you like? Otherwise cash is what you will mostly get in presentation.

We have chosen not to register. This is my second time, my FH’s first. We have already lived together for a year, and I had my own house for many years prior to meeting him- we don’t need much. I figure those who will bring gifts will do so anyways regardless of registry....and most people give a monetary gift nowadays. We just figured we would leave it up to our guests discretion.
In all honesty, I still have a box somewhere deep in the basement with things unopened from my first wedding (China, candleholders etc) that were from a registry 🙄 we just figured we will be thankful for anything we receive- and if we truly don’t need it, we can always return it.

The possibility of monetary gift works to your benefit starting a goal or savings for projects around the house/honeymoon trip later on.

Second marriage for both of us. Small wedding & not registering anywhere. It feels wrong when we have a house and have lived together for quite a few years so we have all the must haves. We aren't asking anyone for anything and if people ask we will insist we dont need anything

I was told that you should register for a few things to appease the older relatives who don't believe in giving cash, but otherwise people will give cash.


We're using MyRegistry.com and it lets us add items from any website and has a place for cash gifts with or without a theme (honeymoon fund, home renovations, down payment etc). I've put items from crate and barrel, Canadian Tire, Amazon, Home Depot, and Ikea on ours including gift cards. Hopefully it helps my mom's older relatives and we don't end up with a lot of gifts we won't use.

It's becoming more and more common for couples to not register anywhere. My FH and I have lived together for 5 years and have pretty much everything we need so we're not registering. Guests generally assume that if a registry isn't listed, a cash gift is preferred. But if you don't want cash either, you can put something along the lines of 'your presence at our wedding is all the gift we need' on a details card or website.
