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

Your family and/or bridal party should also be able to share your wishes with anyone who asks. If you don't have a registry (or even if you do) some family members may ask your parents what you want, so this is another way to spread the word.

If you really don't want or care about gifts at all, and I'm not sure of the correct etiquette on this (WW please weigh in), but I've seen couples ask on their wedding website that in lieu of gifts, guests make a charitable donation to a specific organization.

I agree with charitable gifts idea but it sounds like OP wants gifts for herself and FH just not bulky ones....

I would just say where the registry option is on your wedding website since you are moving that gift cards would be appreciated instead.

I didn't register at all. We received 5 gifts and the rest in cash.

I did a registry and made it clear to a few people that I only want those items for my shower.

FH is in the army and we live very far apart. We just did non picture invitations and are having a small registry (most people know we're moving).

We didn't register and still received mostly (great!) gifts.

No donations please. While we all have our favorite causes, no cause will suit everyone, whether it's a mission that doesn't resonate or administration that guests don't agree with (some of the most well known charities spend 80% of their donations on fund raising and salaries.....)

Don't mention gift cards, FSS. It's just like asking for cash. A small registry is a great clue for most guests.

I rarely see gifts at weddings; it's usually 90% cards.

Can your parents or a friend hold them for you and deliver them to your new home after the wedding? Donyou have any friends who live near where you're moving to? If so, you could put their address on the registry, so everything ships to them

The registry website Zola allows you to delay gift shipments, so you could get them sent after your move.

I feel you on this. We aren't moving but we would rather get cash (I know, I know). I'm doing a smaller registry just for the sake of bridal showers. I'm adding items I don't particularly like to purchase for ourselves, like sheets, silverware, knives etc. maybe just make a smaller one?

There is nothing specific that we want, so we didn't register anywhere. In my experience, most people bring cards and money. If we do get gifts too, we will be grateful for receiving them. I think the best option for you is to not register anywhere.

I've been to weddings where they included a cute poem/ note in the invite envelope to say they would prefer donation.
