Cash Registry - How do they work and Is it tacky?

Emmie....I was just going to request $500 bills.

Okay, I got it... My gut feeling was not to do a cash registry, in fact never heard of it until before I started using this website. So, Thanks for the advice; I agree. No more responses needed.

P.S. I'm changing my avatar today ;-)

We did a poem on our website that alludes we just want cash.

Skip the cash registry, is tacky and they'll just take a cut. People who want to give you cash will give you cash and that's that.

If you don't want a registry have you considered in lieu of registry to have donations be made to a local charity?

Don't do it.

What Promike said, and like a lot of things, tacky and ok are changing. at one time it was considered very inappropriate to mention gifts in a invite at all, and now they include cards of where you are registered. you weren't even supposed to say 'no gift please'

I don't mind the cash registries at all, as long as they couple is tactful. and not teling people that they aren't accepting anything else, or telling them things like I've heard before "gifts need to be 100 dollars and up given the cost per head for the reception" that is what I call tacky and very out of line!

cash registries that I know are going to something like a nice honeymoon, or down payment on a condo, I'd rather contribute to that then going to the one store the couple registered at so they wouldn't look greedy, then being told by the store clerks that they registered at a store that had items hat could only be bought on site at that location about 500 miles away.

I think some people don't like the cash registries because then they can't go buy 10 dollar clearance frame at a fancy store and leave the 100 dollar tag on.

Please don't do a small registry or one with expensive gifts, and hope people get it. For some reason I find this dishonest and confusing. If you want cash don't register at all. If people are asking you where you're registry. They want to buy you a gift. If they plan to give cash it's no need to ask that question.

Don't do it!!! Just don't register. People will give you cash!

At first, I had the same view as annakay511. Don't register and people will just give you cash. But I've seen things go horribly wrong for a friend who recently got married and decided not to register in hopes of getting cash. She ended up with a lot of gifts she did not want. I don't want the same fate, so have registered with a cash registry. Envelope registry (https://enveloperegistry.com/us/) is a startup but I went with them because of the user friendliness of their website as well as the attractive pricing of NO FEES.
