No Registry = People Give Checks/Cash

FYI I see over and over again on here when people get attacked for asking about honeyfunds that they should "not do a Registry and people will get it and give cash". We personally don't really want gifts - a lot of our friends are traveling for the wedding so their presence IS our gift... but I just...

We personally don't really want gifts - a lot of our friends are traveling for the wedding so their presence IS our gift... but I just wanted to throw it out there and say it's not really as simple as people on here make it sound.

60%+ of my guests have called and said "where are you registered" I say "we aren't". They say "well what do you want (insert awkward laughter)", I say "we want you to come that us our gift. I know it costs you to travel here."

Now maybe everyone will still bring us cash but I'm feeling like a lot of people will believe that they don't need to bring anything (which again I'm ok with) but just throwing it out there that unless I answered "we want cash" which I'm not about to do, it may not be as simple as WW users make it sound. Just something to think about from someone who didn't register

    I have rarely seen more than two or three physical gifts at a wedding. It's all cards.

    If someone asks what you want, you say you are saving up for X (preferably something large like a kitchen remodel or a new car)

    The only time I've ever seen boxed gifts at a wedding was for a second marriage of two women both in their 60s. People gave them some sentimental gifts since they didn't need any household things to start their lives.

    I can't believe people are asking you what you want for your wedding. It's not a damn 5 year olds birthday party.
