qr Code for Registry & Cash App

Imani, on March 19, 2022 at 1:44 PM Posted in Etiquette and Advice 0 31
Is it tacky to put a QR code for the registry and cash app at the gift table? I used the same background for the invitations to give it a ‘elegant look’ however, now I am debating if I should put them out. I was thinking about putting them in a 4x6 frame. Also, we added ‘monetary gifts encouraged’ on the website. qr Code for Registry & Cash App 1
qr Code for Registry & Cash App 2

    Thanks for being honest. I always say ‘if you have to ask’. Yeah. I won’t be adding them.

    I think this is both tacky and unnecessary. Those who are giving you a physical gift or gift of money in a card will already have it in hand at the gift table. Putting these codes out implies that you are expecting them to buy you an additional gift or that what they have brought with them is not enough.

    Thank you Natalie for your perspective. I completely agree. I just wanted to confirm what I was already feeling.

    Hi there!


    I understand why you would want to have these on the table just in case. I don't think they're necessary! If anyone needs to know about you register or cashapp, happily send them a link to your website❣️

    "If you have to ask" is good advice, Imani! Glad you've re-thought it.

    In our families and social circles, cash gifts are taboo. If we were guests, and there was no physical registry, we would give a card with a heartfelt note. No cash, no physical gift the couple didn’t ask for to get returned to a local store for cash.


    Our circles don’t QR codes. I would be tempted to leave the card and head out if I saw this posted at a wedding.

    I agree with everyone else that this is tacky. I also think that saying "monetary gifts encouraged" on the website also verges on tacky.

    Really? My coworker brother recently got married and they added it on theirs. I had another coworker that also added it to theirs as well. Should I look at other ways to word it or just take it off all and all?

    In my social circle, yes, this would be considered tacky. A gentler way of going about it would be including a link to something like the Knot newlywed fund as a part of your registry, or a link to a Honeyfund, which subtly implies that you prefer cash without coming out and directly stating it.

    Thank you - I can add our Honeyfund. We have been together for 10 years and honestly we don’t need anything to add to what we already have. I will remove the monetary gifts and add the Honeyfund instead. Thanks a lot Hanna.

    My thoughts are to remove all wording. Just because someone else does something doesn’t automatically mean that they were taught or care about etiquette of making people comfortable in the social situation. Guests know that gifts are optional, and whose who customarily gift cash will do that regardless if anything is mentioned explicitly, which gifts should be by word of mouth only from the people who talk will make sure everyone else in your group knows what is what. It will be confusing to those who give physical gifts only as they will find out from your parents and others that there is no registry so they will look for something off registry that you don’t want and won’t be able to return or exchange anywhere.


    Best of luck!

    I just want to say that I'm so impressed with how you handled this! I've seen SO many brides who post on here (and elsewhere) asking for advice and when they're given honest advice that isn't what they wanted, they immediately jump to the defense and get all snappy. You were so sweet about taking all the honest opinions and open to changing things after having an actual discussion. Kudos to you Smiley smile

    🙂 Thank you so much Fianna! I do not take offense to anyones opinion especially if I am the one that’s asking the question. I always like to get different perspectives. I was already on the fence and everyone just kinda confirmed that for me. I appreciate your kind words!

    It’s not proper etiquette but only you know your guests. If you know that your guests will prefer to send money via CashApp then do it! I’ve been to weddings where this was done. Actually, very nice weddings. I didn’t feel a way about it either. Why? Because weddings are expensive and people should gift. Ultimately, It’s your decision. Just be confident in the decision you make.
