Honeyfund??? Thoughts

If you don't want gifts, skip the registry. No one needs to be told that cash is a good gift, they already know that. Cash registries also take a portion of each gift.

Tacky to ASK is the key phrase. Just don’t have a registry. People who want to give you something will likely give you money anyway.

A friend got married and registered on Zola for their honeymoon. I hadn't heard of it, and thought it was an interesting concept. I may have been the only one. I checked it out recently (8 months after their wedding) and they had only recieved $75 thru the site.
So I'm thinking just not having a registry might work better.

Being completely honest here, yes it is tacky to ask for money. Plus, adults can figure out how to put cash or a check in a card. Just have a small registry (or no registry) and people will get the hint. You can let family/wedding party help spread the word for those who don't get the hint and ask.

Agree with the above. If you do not want physical gifts, I would not register, and I definitely would not ask for or suggest a cash gift. I think to do so might definitely be seen as "tacky" by some. Those who want to give you something will.

I have a honeymoon fund on Zola and I can say that I have gotten some money. however I will say when I itemized my honeymoon fund into activities where people know what it's for and how much it costs, they're more inclined to give. Such as $50 for zipline adventure - they're more inclined to purchase that for you than just give an arbitrary amount.
But I will admit if you don't go with it, it's ok too. What other members here said is kind of right because although I got some money on it, I think people would be more inclined to directly give to you.

I personally think it is. In my opinion, people will gift cash if there is no registry most the time.

I personally think it is tacky, and I've never contributed to one. I'd just gift you cash at the wedding instead. Everyone knows that everyone can use cash, so I find those funds unnecessary.
