Cash Registry

I just don't see what the difference in asking for a gift from a registry and asking for cash. Especially if you don't really need the registry items.....

In my opinion, I think straight out asking for money is rude. I think it's ok to have the registry if you want to, but I wouldn't put it anywhere on the invitation. I would spread the word through family and do it that way. Me and fh have lived together for four years and it will be five when we get married. we could probably use cash more than gifts, but I will not do a cash registry or even dare to tell anyone that I'd rather have cash because I find it to be sounding kind of rude. It's nice of someone to go out of their way and get you a gift in the first place. i would be greatful that they even gave me anything (even if it's something that I really didn't want)...just my opinion.

Anyone who thinks asking for cash is tacky needs to get off their high horse. This posting was started for someone who is asking for recommendations on cash registries. They are NOT asking for your opinion, to each their own. While in the US cash registries may not be common, many countries around the world only have cash registries where a couple registers a joint bank account and their guests go and deposit money into that account to help them start their future together. Learn a little more culture before you offer your unwanted opinion.

The following are a few sites where you can register for cash. They are all pretty good.

Let me tell you why it is not tacky at all. I was at my friends wedding & I personally gave a card with $300 cash inside. Not only did she not receive my card but she was missing quite a few. Who took them? Who knows? A guest, a staff member?? I would hope not, she had the wedding at a 5 star resort. But the truth is she has no idea & It didn't matter because I still gave her another card with more money it. I personally would rather not carry anything extra besides my clutch into a wedding, people tend to sit things down & forget they are there. The point is I have no problem giving money toward someone's honeymoon or future home. If it will make the bride & groom happy it makes me happy. Isn't that what it is about?

We used Bowl of Cherries for our wedding cash gift registry. Our guest loved it. The way the site is set up it doe not feel like you are asking for cash because your guests actually click on a gift to contribute to.

After our wedding we used it to announce the birth of our daughter by simply choosing a new template that overlayed on our current design. Then we chose baby gifts from their premade wish lists. It is adorable! We plan to use it for her 1st birthday party in May.

Hello Eli,

Setting up a cash wedding registry is a personal decision between the couple that they make based on their needs and situation. If you think this is the best option for you then don´t pay attention to people that say it´s tacky or whatever, besides at the end of the day it´s YOUR big day.

Have a lovely day ladies!

Totally fine to have a cash registry along with a regular registry with some select things you want for those who want to get a physical gift. It's not tacky, it's 2015! People live together for quite some time before getting married. We have more than enough of stuff. Why would we register for things we don't need nor want just to satisfy some outdated etiquette?

Now that it's 2018 and Honeymoon Registries and Cash Funds Registries are not so taboo....Does anyone have one that they suggest?

*It's not asking for money, it's saying put the money you are going to spend on a blender we don't want or need towards, a honeymoon or excursion that will create lasting memories! There's nothing wrong with that! LOL

View Quoted Comment I'm in the same boat. I've been told to only register for a handful of small items. Once everything on the registry is gone, guests should default to giving money. I don't know how true that is, but I think that is what we're doing.

View Quoted Comment Totally agree with you!

Thank you for this, I came on here to find an answer to the OP's question and ended up having to read loads of comments that have nothing to do with the question
