Registry Help

Hi all,
My fiancé and I are living at home with my parents. We are currently saving up to move out and buy a house. My fiancé decided to go back to school so we will be living with my parents for at least another 2-3 years. We are having a hard time creating a registry because we don’t want to ask for things if we won’t be using them for a while or not wanting to have sheets and towels and such sit in our attic or garage for that long. Any ideas or suggestions?

Honeymoon fund? or gift cards? often times if you don't have a registry people will get the idea to just give you cash.

I'd honestly just skip the registry altogether. People will know to gift cash instead. Given your situation, I'm sure that cash will be way more useful!

100% agree with this. People know cash is a good gift, and most people attending your wedding will probably know your situation. There is no point in registering for stuff you don't need. Skip the hassle and the majority of people will give you cash that can you use to buy whatever, pay off debts, or save towards a down payment.

My FH and I are in a similar living situation. We opted for a honeymoon fund through Traveler’s Joy.

Not everyone gives cash, especially older guests. And people will want to buy you something. You can create a registry at Amazon with anything you enjoy together, whether it's board games, movies, camping, etc.

Thanks everyone! I think we will ask for a few things. Do we have to set up a cash fund on a website? Or will guests just do cash gifts what’s the easiest thing?
