Bridal Shower vs. Wedding Registry

Furnace loan repayment registry! Yes!

Omgggggg student loan registry. Mine are even set up that you could select which loan to contribute to!

Brb canceling my BB&B registry now in favor of a med school tuition registry

So because I just said what my friend had done I'm offering terrible advice? I'm not going to sit there and bash a bride. She asked for help so I was offering advice. I'm sorry of you guys think it's so horrible. Two people have explained to me what was really happening when you put money towards those and so now I know that's it's really not a good idea. No need to be mean to people who don't know. Sorry, I gave terrible advice and you didn't like it.

How about an "I just really like money" registry? Points for honesty!

Brittany, nobody was bashing anyone. If you think that was bad, I would probably be afraid of the sheer number of rainbows and unicorns in your world. You were giving bad advice and were informed as such. You learned (good job!) and I'm assuming well no longer be delivering said advice anymore. It's a win win situation!

I'm so jealous of all these couples that "don't need anything." I'll take your gifts.

Wow thank you for all of your comments, some of you really shouldnt say anthing if you feel you need to be rude about it! But thank you for the idea of creating a small registry for upgraded household items! Great idea! & we were thinking of the honeymoon one since it seemed like a fun idea to let our friends & family contribute to an activity but guess we'll rethink that

Brittany, the point is if someone asks for advice on how to do something rude, it's way more honest to tell them "that's rude" than to give them examples of how to do this rude thing. No one is bashing anyone.

And it's only Monday - the week is just starting. ARGHHH!!!

Personally, if you both have all the essentials and need nothing you shouldn't have a registry at all. Gift registries, which I consider just as tacky as any other registry, was meant for people coming into a marriage with nothing. We didn't have a registry at all and we received 4 gifts and the rest in cash.

Realistically, the wedding industry and media is making all these honey funds and other registries the new norm. Gift registries were probably considered just as tacky and outrageous when it started cropping up.

I say stick with class and drop the honeymoon registry. Once you have cash you can spend it on whatever you want.

We're combining households, so there's a lot of stuff we really don't need. But like Celia suggested, we've registered for a bunch of upgraded stuff, no matter how small.

The thing I'll never understand about honeyfunds- do you plan to pay for your honeymoon after the wedding? I've seen them where I can "contribute to airfare", and I know damn well you've already bought that ticket.
