Creating both a gift and a honeymoon registry...

FH and I live together and don't need any physical gifts so we are having a wishing well. Culturally (Russian) and geographically (Australia), wishing wells are common place, so we will be including a poem in our wedding suite to essentially inform guests that should they wish to give a gift, we are having a wishing well.

I don't see any problem doing something similar and noting both options, though I will caution you - Americans (at least many on WW) seem to frown heavily upon making any reference to gifts, a common practice being to simply 'not say anything'. I think it is far more practical to make a point of it since guests will undoubtedly bring gifts, but ultimately it depends on you and your crowd.

Gift information does not traditionally go on invitations. Guests know that cash is a good gift and will bring a card with a check or cash in it, so just have a basket or cardbox on the gift table for them to place the cards.

I have both cash fund and traditional registry on my website. I phrased the registry page stating “for those who prefer the traditional way of gifting”
a registry is also available in addition to cash funds”. My website also allow you to feature the most wanted items and the cash fund is featured as most wanted.

I’m having both a full registry of gifts and a honeymoon fund on my wedding website but I won’t mention anything about it anywhere specifically. I will list a registry tab on my wedding website and I’ll list the website link on the STDs and invitations!

Everyone knows cash is a good gift, especially the people that have already mentioned it. There is no reason to say anything or to add a third party company to get cash.
We had a small gift registry and nothing more. Most guests brought cards with cash or check to the wedding. No prompting or guidance necessary, they just knew everyone always wants money!

I wouldn't mention anything about the registries on your invitations. If you've sent save the dates out and have a wedding website, then your guests should know where to go to see them and choose their gift to you.

FBIL and his wife had both a regular registry and a honeymoon fund on their website and it worked out great for them! They actually ended up having most of their honeymoon paid for which was nice.

If people are already mentioning gifting cash for your honeymoon, then there's no need for you to set up something for that. They and you will both be better off with just dealing with cash instead of a website intermediary.

I'm doing both. I put it on the website that we live together and have enough stuff, and gave link to the honeymoon fund. We're going to Disneyworld, so it's a link to the Disney registry. I also included a link to Amazon registry in case anyone wants to do a more traditional gift. I know some of the older family members are not going to be as keen on the honeymoon fund, so I gave options.

Registry information should never go on wedding invitations! It can come across as very gift grabby and rude. Physical gift registry information should be reserved for bridal shower invitations sent by whoever is hosting that event for you, since the point of a shower is to “shower” you with physical gifts. Otherwise, guests know that cash is a great gift and will give it to you regardless! They don’t need a honeymoon fund to be able to do so.

View Quoted Comment You could always add an insert to their save the date that tells them where you are registered at! That way they don’t have to navigate your website to find it.

View Quoted Comment Guests will ask where you are registered and that information is given by word of mouth only.

They will either just write you a check or will call you or your parents to find out where you are registered.

Registry information doesn't belong on STDs either.

View Quoted Comment I understand that but she was asking for suggestions for those who will not be able to navigate her website, so a good idea would be to insert a little card nicely pointing out where she is registered! I don’t think there is harm in that for the older folks!

View Quoted Comment The older guests know proper manners say that you ask the couple directly or their parents where they are registered. No inserts are included because it is a faux pas that the current generation does not acknowledge as such.

We have some as well that are in that age range, and we still only included our wedding website on our invites since that's where all of our information is at. We expect them to just come to us directly if they need any help!

If it's that much of a concern for you, you could always create an insert to include in only those invitations. The insert could have your wedding website on it, and say: "For additional wedding information, please visit our wedding website, if you have difficulty doing so, please reach out to the bride and groom for help."

Since not everyone will need that information, I think having insert included for only those few older guests should be fine.
