Is this tacky for a wedding registry?

I personally wouldn't do that, but it's more of a "know your crowd" kind of thing. If all your guests know and understand your situation, they would probably be fine with gifting you that.

My friend did that for her wedding and I actually got her that as I know they would put them to use visiting each other. They had a similar situation. I don’t think it’s tacky at all. In my opinion it’s like a honeymoon fund you’re asking for money for a specific thing. Do you girl!

I don't think it's tacky at all! In fact it's kind of sweet because it's them helping you towards your relationship.

I don't think its tacky at all. As a guest, I would think its cute.

Amazon lets you add gift cards I believe! We just gifted one to a bride, she had an Amazon registry but a few gift cards too (southwest, airbnb, etc.). I thought it was fine!

I put a Lowes gift card on my registry. I didnt ask for like 400 $50 gift cards or anything, but I did add it in case someone wanted to buy us one. Like a "hey, we're working on this house thing, this would be appreciated" hint.

Hey there! I'd say as long as you add a few other gift ideas, an airline gift card or two can't hurt!

Thanks everyone! I’m definitely putting some less expensive options on there, and I wouldn’t want the airline gift cards to exceed like $50 (a round trip ticket between New York and Oregon is only like $200)

I think that's really cute! I would love to gift someone that if they were in your situation, more personal than just cash.

Will each of you maintain separate places, that the other visits? Then there are some gifts you could likely use. But gifts that make it possible to see each other, are great. And if our experience in loss and damage to luggage while in the airlines hands is anything to go by, you might want some more, since claims are paid slowly. 😋. Do you have any hobbies or activities you do when you are together, that might be supported by friend's gifts? In my experience of a long term commuting period with my spouse, we spent so much on travel, that it was tough to come up with concert tickets , movie passes, things for hiking and kayaking trips, or restaurant meals, for when we were together. We enjoyed such gifts received for our birthdays and on the holidays. So if people ask you for suggestions, or a wish list, because of your unusual circumstances, you might think of some things for each of your homes, or to do in each home area. You know travel costs and phone bills will deplete your individual budgets.

We each live in separate apartments, and his roommates don’t allow guests so we get an AirBnB when I see him, but he’s always able to stay at my place when he comes here. It’s just not very often, though. I’m usually the one traveling.

I could definifely tack on some concert tickets and things from Groupon! There’s so much to do where’s both of us live

View Quoted Comment 18 months that I was in the army, I kept company with a guy who was doing his medical residencies. Both hospitals, free room, in a suite with 8 others in single rooms, 2 living or quiet study rooms, open kitchen and dining. Little things like owning our own extra clean sheets and towels, a blanket and a robe, in a washable duffle bag, mentioned arriving in the other's town and immediately decamping to a cabin, or in, or motel, out in the rural belt or mountains near our respective places, made it easy to pick up and go . And take some of our nice than rental stuff with us, always all clean and packed. And we kept double and two single string hammocks, to take advantage of state forests, picnic areas near lakes. A hibachi and utensils and foil lived in his trunk. Camping gear in mine. It takes a while to set yourself up to be nomads. And it makes having places to go and things to do more important, a little romantic time, since you do not have any 2 person nest.

I don’t think there is anything wrong with it! Your guests know you’re long distance so they’ll understand why it’s there!

I would just not register. People aren't stupid, you will get a bunch of cash and checks and maybe a few physical gifts. Then you can spend that money on whatever you need. I think airline gift cards is odd. Not tacky I guess, but just really weird and I doubt many people would utilize that option.

I think it's totally fine to register for airline gift cards!
