Asking for a gift card and other registry questions

@ Brittany: No one has said its inappropriate, But some are thinking it. I guarantee it.

Keep your registry minimal and people will give cash.

I do t think so, we did something similar to this. We are preparing for home renovations so our registry allowed us to setup a "Group Contribution" gift where people could donate.

No one will tell you it's tacky, Brittany. And you don't know what they really think.

I didn't think ya deserved snark OP, lol...

And I believe that HD does have a registry, but I love the amazon idea!

The amazon idea would be the way to go.

I've never taken a physical gift to a wedding though, always cash or gift cards, so I would probably just plan on using that for the remodeling supplies.

Don't ask for gift cards, honeymoon funds, or straight out money. Have a limited amount of ideas on your registry or none at all. People will give you what they want regardless of all this. Amazon is a great place to do a registry from what I have read. Good luck!

@Brittany just because you haven't heard them talk, doesn't mean they aren't.

It's considered tacky to put it on there and I wouldn't feel comfortable telling people directly, but I don't see anything wrong with telling your parents and maybe some VIPs that Home Depot gift cards are something you'd really like. They can let others who may ask know that if they're not comfortable giving cash as want to feel like they "got something" then Home Depot gift card would be greatly appreciated.

I know adults can do this themselves and most will give cash but some people aren't comfortable doing so.

Thanks everyone! I really wasn't sure if the whole gift card thing was similar to a honeyfund and such. Thanks for setting me straight!

Just register at 1 store and whatever you don't want can be converted to a gift card.
