Cash Registry Only?

Shaunie, on March 8, 2017 at 10:20 PM Posted in Etiquette and Advice 0 17

Hey everyone!

I guess this is more of an etiquette question. We are not really in need of any actual gifts and would both prefer cash. Is it rude or offensive to just create a Zola Cash Fund registry? We started putting together an Amazon registry, but honestly we don't need anything on it at this point. Thoughts?

    Keep the small Amazon registry. Nix the cash registry. Adults will get the hint.

    That's what me and FH did. We got our first gift today off our Amazon registry and it was so exciting.

    Yes, do not do a cash registry. Keep a light, minimal registry, which will help encourage money. Also, with no registry you will be more likely to get gift receipts to exchange or return. (that sounds tacky but it is a loop hole)

    I think you should put bank deposit slips in with your invitations instead. Gets the point across and people aren't charged that pesky fee!

    No, you don't ask people for money. Every couple needs something, new sheets, towels, coffee maker..something. or don't register like they stated above.

    I didn't think I needed anything either. FH and I have lived together for 5 years and just recently due to father passing and moms health issues we have had to move in to take care of mom and she has everything (our stuff is in storage). However I knew I needed to make one and I actually found several things I have kinda wanted but wouldn't buy for myself and ended up with a small registry of about 30 items.

    FH and I will have lived together almost 7 years when we get married. We are still doing a registry. I bake a lot so a standing mixer is going on there, we need better knives and updated pots and pans, bed sets, towels, and a couple other upgrades. Make sure any registry has multiple price points so people with tight funds can still get something and people who want to buy the big gift have that option.

    Even if you make a small registry, people get the hint. We put some things on ours that we don't think anyone will buy but we want to use a completion discount on!

    As PP's have said create a small registry or don't register at all. You're guests will get the hint.

    You will find things you need. I have lived in my house for four years and never thought about needing anything, until I got engaged and did a registry. Upgrade your appliances, get new towels, upgrade your silverware, get some new dishes, a kitchen aid, new knives, Keurig accessories, etc. I could go on and on and on. And if you just really don't want anything, at least do a registry with a few items. People will ask where you are registered, go take a look, and then get the hint. But don't flat out ask for money, it's definitely bad etiquette. Happy Planning!!!!!!

    People don't need help giving you cash. Make a small registry or don't register. It's very simple to put cash or a check in a card. People have been doing it long before all of these money registries happened.
