Destination Wedding Registry

Just skip the registry.

We had a DW and we spread the word that “their presence at our wedding is our gift.”

Yeah, I would just skip the registry. If people want to give you cash, they will. You do not need to have a fund to tell people that money is good.

I 100% agree with all PPs. All solid advice.

I agree, skip the registry! People will get the hint and give cash

You're welcome to look at mine as an example! our destination wedding is in hilton head SC. we have home goods and cash funds and guests have bought us both. it also comes in handy for those that cant attend but want to contribute and if your office is throwing you a shower or you have family/girlfriends throwing you a shower before hand. www.zola.com/wedding/merriedtozach and just click on registry tab. Zola has been by best friend lol and its completely free to set up the website and registry!

I just wouldn't do a registry. Your instincts are spot-on that it's tacky to ask for cash (whether it's honeymoon, or new house, whatever). Don't register and ppl will get the idea and likely give you cash.

Skip the registry. We had a destination wedding and we didn't have a registry, but after having some of our guests asking for gifts ideas we created a honeymoon fund to go to a place called Scape Park in Punta Cana. We loved it!

You can have a registry and if anyone wants to buy you something they’ll just send it to your address. You can have an option so everything is deliver to you instead of to them. You do not want people to show up at your destination wedding with presents that you later on need to return. I had a destination wedding and no plans on making a registry but I did because I had a shower. For the most part people got us cash and gift cards instead but I still got a few items from our registry.

I am doing destination AND doing a registry for my bridal shower, which YES i still plan on having for those who CANNOT attend the actual wedding. Maybe put a small note on the shower invites you send out

I skipped the registry at first but then I had a bridal shower and my MOH mention something very true. People are bringing you presents, you want them to give you something you like and not something you don't. So I made a very last minute short registry with stuff you always need or you might not need right away that can wait until your wedding. I got extra sheets, towels, a few kitchen gadgets, just a little of here and there in different price ranges for everyone. I also added a honeymoon registry not a fund. I added couples massage, horse back riding, romantic dinner, snorkeling trip. In the end I got only a few items from the registry and everything from the honeymoon registry.
