Due to pandemic. Should you do a go fund me account

GoFundMe is for emergency situations. If you are asking how your guests can send you gifts, then I am sure they will either send you a check or wire you the amount they are planning to gift. People know how to send gifts and most sites have options to send gifts directly to your address. I would not use a 'honeyfund' as the site takes a percentage.

I personally wouldn’t set up a go fund me. It might send the wrong message that you’re asking for gifts, which I don’t think is the intention. If guests want to give you monetary gifts but can’t attend the wedding because of what’s going on (understandable) I would expect them to mail a card with a check. Perhaps leave your registry up if you have one?

I think it could give off the wrong message and might seem greedy, particularly as a lot of people are struggling financially in the aftermath of what’s gone on.
If people want to give you gifts, they will endeavor to do so and will reach out to you about it.

View Quoted Comment Even in non- virus times, depending on how scattered friend and family are, medical issues or $ that make even short trips difficult, and tough work schedules, in some weddings couples have a lot of people either not invited due to wedding size, or who are but cannot make the trip. A wedding gift is not a ticket to get into a wedding. It is something people give you to express their happiness about you taking this major step, and establishing a new home and family. Which means that they give gifts, whether or not they attend any wedding. We received over 40 major boxed gifts, and 5 checks from people we had not invited. Some 2 months ahead, to as much as 6 weeks after ( which is common time frame, for people to send something after you return from a honeymoon or move.). People send you birthday or holiday gifts or cards, with no need for special services or funds that take a cut. They can do it for your wedding. Do leave a registry up for at least 6 weeks after a wedding, more if people may not have received invitations, but hear afterward and go looking g on line to see if you registered. Often people will buy gifts not from your registry, but from where they get a better price. Or they look at it for ideas of colors, sizes. So even if you do not see activity on it, leave it up.

GoFundMe accounts are considered a little rude for weddings. No one has to give you a gift, and that site is for emergency fund raising. You can find registries with the option for cash funds on them that are more inline with etiquette, or people will just send cash/check in a card.

Yes so just like the PP I wouldn't set up a Hlgo me fund at all. Unless ppl are willing to contribute that's a different story. This situation is not an emergency .

GoFundMe is for emergencies and charities, your wedding is neither of those things. If the other “guests” want to give you a monetary gift, they will do it in the form of cash or check. Taking donations for your wedding is tacky.

The knot cash fund has been the easiest wedding registry, i highly recommend

A honeymoon or cash fund comes off differently than a go fund me

If people want to send you something, they will ask for your address and send it to you. No need to set up an account. If you have a registry then you should be good!

You don't need to set anything up for people to send you cash or checks. If people want to, they will ask for your address and they will send you something. There is no need to put out a request for anything, because that just seems really tacky!

Don’t do that. GoFundMe is for emergencies only. If people want to give you a monetary gift they will use another way to gift you the money.
