Is it in poor taste...

This isn't going to go over well here. Fair warning..

Yes. There are several threads discussing this topic.

Yes it is in poor taste. Don't make a registry and people will get the hint that you would prefer cash.

Yes it is poor in taste. Create a small registry your guest will get the hint

LOL thanks. I'm not new, so I think I can handle it.

You're going to get a massive amount of "no" answers.

People want to give you gifts so that you will remember them and the part they had in your day when you use the item.

You can't ask, that's in poor taste. However, you don't need to register- that is not in poor taste. However, you can't expect to have a bridal shower if you don't register.

Cool. Never thought of creating a small registry then leading them to what I prefer. Thanks!

Yes, most adults will already give cash. Create a small registry and they will get the hint.

If you aren't new, then you should know that this thread is in poor taste.

Thanks OriginalLaura!

Just don't register... I ALWAYS give cash.

Yes, it is. If you don't need anything, don't register or make a tiny registry, and then let people figure it out. Most people are smart enough to get the hint. You can also tell your parents so if family asks what you'd like or about registry stuff, they can just tell them.

Thanks everyone. I appreciate your comments and ideas!

Yes, it is always in poor taste to ask for money as a gift.
