Registry for Destination Weddings

Hello!

What is the etiquette for a registry when you are doing a destination wedding. We were originally going to have one of those " Your presence is present enough" But we know that not everyone can make it, and they may want to send a gift? So is it rude to have that and then also include a registry? The people who are coming are spending a lot to be there already, if they want to get us a gift, that'd fine, but we are not expecting it. But I already have an Aunt that is asking about our registry.

Please help... None of my friends did destination wedding so they are not sure themselves.

I am curious about this as well... I made a registry because my MOH is throwing me a bridal shower, but mostly because Amazon gives you a gift card if all your items aren't purchased by your wedding date.

I'd stick to your game plan! Start with "your presence is enough!" and if anyone pushes back and requests your registry information, share it with them. You can just make a small registry! A registry is not a list of demands, just guidance for those who DO want to get you a gift

I'm having a registry but I also have a bridal shower being hosted by my moh. My destination wedding has about 50 guests coming. I don't expect couples going will give gifts but people who aren't attending may want to.

So far about 15 gifts have been purchased off my registry so I'm glad I made one
Registry was on my wedding website, not the wedding invite

What if you are having a DW and no guest. Just bride and grooms parents.

I would create a private registry and only share if demanded.

DW bride here. We didn't have a registry or a shower. Like PP have said, their presence was enough. But if you are worried about guests who can't make the wedding, you could do a small registry. I personally would skip it unless you are having a shower. If guests really want to get you a gift and you have no registry they will just give you cash. Win win
