Honeymoon Fund, Registry, or Both?

Simone, on January 24, 2020 at 2:28 PM Posted in Registry 0 10

So, my ex-husband and I are getting remarried in April. The first time was at a courthouse in 2004, so no one attending this time was there for the first one. We had no children at the time, so this time around is really special for our children. I don't even know if the backstory matters. We don't necessarily need gifts, but want to put something in place because several people have asked already. Ideally, we'd like to do a honeymoon/cash fund only, but someone suggested also having a registry for people who prefer to purchase something tangible. It just seems like a lot. Would it be okay to just put a blub like, "Your presence is our present, but if you'd like to give a gift, please consider contributing to our vacation fund" or something like that and skip the registry part? Not to mention, the wedding is a destination for us and half of our guest list and we'd prefer ppl not to show up with things we have haul on a plane. TIA!

    I think if you don't register people will get the hint that cash is perfect. Lots of luck and congrats on the re- marriage, your kids must be so excited!

    I would tell everyone that you have a full house of things, so things are not what is needed. If they would like to gift you with something, gift your with money towards your honeymoon fund.
    We are doing the same thing.

    I think that you can make a registry on Amazon or something like that, so if people do really want to buy something they have choicen that would be delivered direct to your house.

    We are doing that, we put on your invitations that we appreciate their care and love for us as money gift or in our registry on Amazon.

    we are doing a very small and i mean very small registry at Target and on Amazon, but prefer the cash fund for our new house. We are already legally married as well and have a home full of "stuff". So the cash fund will go towards a new house.

    The only thing on our registry are things like towels, sheets, and an Ninja foodie lol But you can never have enough linens.


    Good Luck

    I would just not register and hope that people gift you cash instead. I am assuming most or all of your guests know you have been together a while and have everything you need already so they are more likely to gift cash vs a couple just starting out together. Good luck and congratulations!

    I agree with the PP. If you do not create a registry, most guests will just give cash. My brother got married last May and he and my sister-in-law did not do a wedding registry and didn't put anything nothing having a registry on their invitations. Most of their guests brought them cards with cash or checks inside of them.
