Moving after the wedding and don't want bulky gifts from guests. How do I approach this?

You don't. You never put anything about gifts on the invite. Bulky or otherwise. Be happy you get gifts and rent the u-haul if you have to.

Any mention of wanting or not wanting gifts really shouldn't be on invitations. You could certainly say something about your move and not wanting physical gifts on your wedding website though. I made one up on WW very easily! Also word of mouth is helpful - guests often will ask your family and/or FH's. Just make sure they know your wishes when it comes to gifts and that alone will probably help.

Do a small registry and people will get the hint. Do not wrote anywhere you want cash..it's really tacky.

Is that you Jennifer?

To answer your question, gift card or money registries are considered rude no matter what the reason. Don't register and hope people get the hint.

Don't register and people will probably just take the hint. Word of mouth is an awesome way to help spread the word that you'll be moving. Chances are that people will ask your family where you're registered. Your family can let them know that you haven't registered because you have a big move planned for after the wedding. Leave it at that. They don't need to add, "So give them cash!" Guests should be able to figure it out.

I am in the same situation @elizabeth L. I am planning on just not having a registry. We are having a pretty small wedding, mostly family. I'm hoping that since they all know what we're going to be doing they'll use common sense and not expect us to be asking for toasters, vacuum cleaners, China, what have you.

Small registry and on you wedding website put something like "what's next for us? We're packing up our uHaul and moving across the country. We're so excited to start our new life together in ....".

First world problems.

Eta: Maybe it's just me but I'd be grateful for what anyone gets us.

Do a small registry of small gifts.

Small registry for some "non-bulky" items on your wedding website and everyone will get the hint!

You can always return anything you don't want to move and buy it again later.

Your wedding is in 6 weeks and you haven't mailed invitations yet?

Honestly, most people bring a card with money/check at a wedding. At least in my circle, people get gifts for showers and money for the wedding. I think we got one boxed gift (from my grandparents, old school) at our wedding. I wouldn't worry too much about it, and definitely don't ask for cash.

I guess I'm just wondering why your invitations haven't gone out yet.

Do not mention it on invites! That is really distasteful. I would do a small registry and if someone happens to get you a larger gift be happy they thought of you!

People that know you will most likely know you are moving and take that into consideration. I had a cocktail hour type bridal shower in Canada that my mom threw the week before I moved to Texas. Everyone brought cash or gift cards as they knew I wasn't going to pack champagne flutes or what not in my carry-on

Also, most people bring cash to weddings anyway

Um how many people are you inviting? Is it really that many it will affect the weight of a Uhaul? Makes no sense???

To answer the questions about why my invitations haven't gone out yet, my fiance is in the airforce and we have spent most of our engagement apart and getting together for pictures and other things has been hard. We're in a situation where we've had to change the wedding date based off of his military schedule so that's also affected the what the invitations say, when we send them out, etc. We've decided we're not going to register or mention anything on the invitations. Thanks for the advice.

I moved across the country 6 months after our wedding with my bulky kitchen aid someone was kind enough to get us and my bulky brand new pan set and bulky soft towels... Guess what I did?! Hired a mover!! And they packed and hauled all those nice gifts to my new home. It's like magic

Your wedding date is one day before mine, if you don't send invites you will have no guests.
