Honeyfund or no?

Good luck with this question.

Go lurk around. There were three posts about this today alone. The answer is it's tacky. Just have a small regular registry. People will get the hint.

Yes, skip the honeyfund. You will find most people on here will tell you it is rude to straight up ask for money. If you have a small registry, people will get the hint to give you cash anyways. My cousin lives in London, and when they came back to get married in Chicago everyone was well aware not to give them gifts they'd have to bring back. It's more customary now to give people money, and they will figure that out without a honeyfund. Don't do it.

Thanks for the feedback. I was leaning toward deleting it. My cousin just got married in May and she had one, so that's why I looked into it in the first place.

'should I just skip the honeyfund and have faith that guests will either send a gift directly from the registry or give us cash? '

Yes. We didn't register for anything and 90% of our guests gave us gifts and vouchers.

Skip the honey fund. I did a small registry too. My mom keeps trying to make me expand it but we're moving out of state the week after the wedding and into a smaller space so I really don't want a ton of stuff (FH and I have both lived on our own for 10+ years so we already have tons of stuff)

I could use cash too, but I like to work for my money. Have a small registry and have a wedding/honeymoon you can afford.

I just attended a wedding and the bride chose to have a money box at the wedding. I don't think it was tacky. She didn't have a honey fund on her site but she did the cute box. I think people will get the hint if you do a small registry though.

Honeyfunds take part of the money, anyway. If I were your guest, and I wanted to give you $200, I wouldn't want $20 of it to be had by the website owners.

A money box? Not like, a cash jar, right?

A money box is just a box where guests slip their cards in and it's kept locked and safe.

Some people do cash jars (blegh) but most people do card boxes. The card boxes ensure you don't lose the cards which is less grabby IMO.

I like the card box idea! I already had one pinned on Pinterest. Thanks!

I'm doing a card box. I think it's good because my cards won't get knocked off the table or stolen. But I won't be having the equivalent to a "donate to little Suzy's cancer fund" cash jar at my wedding. HA!!

People will bring cards with money. It's not preumptuous to plan for this and have a safe box to store them.

I'd definitely be skipping it

No.

Skip the honeyfund, make a small registry. Most people gift money at weddings anyway just don't ask for it. If you can't afford a honeymoon just postpone it or do an anniversary trip. As much as FH and I wanted a honeymoon we decided to put it off so we can host an amazing party.

Skip the honeyfund. Have a smaller registry and then the rest will give cash. Or just skip the registry altogether.

And just have a card box at the wedding.

Y'all gave me enough encouragement to go with my gut and delete it. Now onto the task of creating the perfect card box!
