((My question is at the bottom for those that don't wanna read everything else!))
I'm so excited about it, but I haven't actually announced it yet - we're doing a "cash registry" because we want our guests to donate to a Future House savings fund rather than buy us a bunch of gifts we already have or don't want or need!!
I'm excited because nothing anyone could possibly get in a gift form would mean nearly as much us as being able to put a down payment on a house. We moved out once already when he was in the Navy, so we already have all the typical gifts you'd buy for a newly married couple. We were gonna do a honeymoon fund but honestly I would so much rather put all that money towards a home that we'll stay in for years to come, than a vacation that costs hundreds (or in some cases thousands) of dollars just to stay for a few days.
Plus our current living situation is just terrible. I won't get into it but I hate where we're living and I want out so badly. He hates it too but is a little more accepting of it. I on the other hand, have not been able to stop thinking about having our own little house. I know a guy that owns a construction company and said he would charge us less than $100/sqft to build us our own house wherever we want and it would honestly be such a dream come true. I'm saving every last cent that doesn't go into the wedding or any necessities and putting it all in the house savings.
-----------------------
That being said, how long should I wait to announce what we're doing for our registry? Since we aren't wanting gifts, it won't take anyone very long to save up, and donations are being collected on Zola. All they do is enter however much they're willing to donate and boom, done. The wedding isn't until June 2020.
omg we don't have a wedding website, we just added everyone to a FB page lmao I'm not making a whole site for everyone to not go to, and they're all on FB every free moment of the day anyway so it was just significantly easier for all of us. Hence having to "announce" what we're doing so they don't all go pick out gifts that we aren't gonna want.
