Honeyfund or no?

Good job Kyle!

Please don't ask for honeymoon fund. If people ask tell them what you are needing face to face!

Personally this is the one situation I'd be inclined to give to a honeyfund/cash registry particularly if it isn't just for the honeymoon

Would a hybrid registry like Zola work maybe?

I'm having trouble understanding the backlash toward honeymoon funds. If a couple doesn't need any household items and values experiences together over more stuff, I don't think it's rude to set that up as an alternative. We have a honeymoon fund and a Doctors Without Borders donation fund as our registries. People can contribute or not. The "expectation" is the same regardless, i.e. there shouldn't be a sense of obligation to give a gift (even though there clearly is in U.S. society).

Besides being tacky honeyfunds also take a portion of the gift. I would hate to know that part of my gift to someone went towards paying dues.

We had a registry. We got cash from everyone except for two couples (mother-daughter and their dates).

Cheers to you, Kyle, for being receptive to the advice given and adjusting your plan accordingly!

Yes, skip. If your guests know your situation, then they'll probably go with money, anyway. That's what I would do. However, if I was asked for money, I'd send a tacky gift and not even go to the wedding.

Don't do honey fund. I set one up to see what it was ... and you get fee'd a certain percent !

I feel like since people know your living situation and that you probably won't have space to lug large gifts home that they'll probably just get you something small or give you money anyway. I would just skip the registry to be honest, they'll get the hint.

I recently went to a bridal shower that said "Gift cards and monetary gifts welcomed" I didn't see a problem with it. She already had a house and a house warming years ago and she didn't need anything. Mostly older people like registries but a lot of people usually just like giving money anyway because they don't want to shop.

Gross

A bridal shower for money is very rude. Wow.

Don't ask for money! If your guests are going to give you a gift & you aren't registered, they will know to throw cash or a check into a card.

Face palm.
