Registry without Shower?

It's never okay to have a honeymoon registry.

Problem solved.

Boudreau is correct. Just don't register at all. People will give cash without having to be asked or told.

Yeah, no, Hon.

A shower is to shower you with gifts (like the ones in a box).

A honeymoon registry is to make the registry company money (as they charge you a fee).

Don't have a shower

Boudreau beat me to it.

Fair warning you're about to get attacked with comments

You can have a registry without a shower. You can mention it on your wedding website, but that's it. Make sure both sets of parents know where you're registered so they can spread it by word of mouth if people ask.

There is no way to ask people to fund your expensive vacation without sounding like a freeloader.

While they have gotten popular, honeymoon registries really are a no-no, etiquette-wise; asking for money is generally considered rude, and the companies that run these registries take a percentage of what your guests intend to give you. Plus, asking guests to reimburse for a vacation adds another dimension to the whole thing.

I'd just not to a registry at all- if anyone asks where you're registered, you just say "we have all the household stuff we need, so we didn't do a registry," and folks will tend to give you money. They don't need a website middleman to do that!

No honeymoon registry. If you want money, don't create a registry or create a small one. You do not have to have a shower, and without a shower, you really don't need a registry, though I know where I live, some people, particularly older relatives, would still prefer to give a physical gift. Never put registry information on wedding invites. Word of mouth is the best way to let people know if you do create a registry.

Definitely no honeymoon registry. I know it is hard,but if you have all the things you want just do not have a registry at all especially with no shower. I have been fighting with my twin sister about this and it didn't end well. It is just rude, and she ended up not listening to me and I am cringing waiting for the shower to see whats going to happen. She put sunscreen on her "honeymoon" registry!! An embarrassment to say the least =(

No honeymoon registry. It's rude. Don't ask for guests to pay for your sex vacation.

Honeymoon registries are essentially equivalent to asking your guests to pay for you to go on a fancy vacation that you are not entitled to and can't afford by yourself. It's incredibly rude and tacky.

If you are having a shower, you should have a registry for boxed gifts.

If you are NOT having a shower, you can either a) have a small registry, which your guests, who are adults, will get the hint and likely gift you cash OR b) don't register at all, thereby likely resulting in the same thing - cash gifts.

I've never attended a wedding where I didn't gift cash. I *try* to get something off the registry when I attend a shower, if I can. If not, I gift cash then too.

If someone had a honeymoon fund, and no registry, I would probably enjoy gifting them some hideous clearance serving plates from 1975

Wow it's been a few days since one of these popped up! Is that a record?

You don't. Honeymoon registries will always make folks look like freeloaders. You're not entitled to a vacation, so if you can't afford one, don't take one.

Never okay to do a honeymoon registry

No

Do what works for you girl!! If you feel like having a honeymoon registry, GO FOR IT!! Not everyone may like it but guess what, they aren't the ones shelling out the money for the wedding hahaha Though, it might be nice to have a very small gift registry as well just to avoid any unwanted floral printed blankets from Great Aunt Sue Either way you decide to go, it's your day so do what makes you guys happy!! Good luck

As I mentioned in my post, EVERYONE may not be happy with it but it's their wedding... They should choose to do whatever they want to for a registry!! At the end of the day, they won't lose any friends or family over having a honeymoon registry I think we all need to be just a little less judgmental and realize that in 2017 anything goes!! I say GO FOR IT GIRL!!

Ew. Alycia. Stop.

You guys do realize though that by giving a cash gift........ the giver has NO CONTROL over what the money is used for. I understand your guys' viewpoints, however at the end of the day they are going to use the money they receive for honeymoon expenses anyways so really everyone that gives money is STILL PAYING for a part of their honeymoon.

We are all entitled to our opinions and I respect all of you guys' but I just think it's a tad silly to be so up in arms over something that is going to happen anyways... At least when you are giving to a honeyfund you know what your money/gift is being used for
