Registry without Shower?

amanda, on March 18, 2017 at 2:59 PM

Posted in Etiquette and Advice 76

Is it OK to have a honeymoon registry without having a bridal shower? And if so, how do I tell my guests about the registry without sounding like a freeloader?

    @tacos4days she specifically said that MY advice was 'terrible, tacky, and entitled'- not sure how else I should have taken that.

    Stating an opinion isn't 'trolling' i'm on this site just like the rest of you to help plan my wedding.

    i'm sorry I don't agree with all of you ladies but there's no reason to be negative to anyone...

    aren't we all stressed out enough trying to plan a wedding?

    do we really need to gang up on each other and make things worse?

    nahhh, i'd much rather get along and give CONSTRUCTIVE advice rather than to just put someone down

    @HappilyEverConforti what she was calling terrible and tacky was your ADVICE. The advice was the subject of the description, not you, personally. If she would have said that YOU are terrible and tacky etc, then that would have been a violation.

    I'm not trying to just sit and argue with you, I just think your taking something more personally than you need to, and don't want you to misuse the CG's! Smiley smile

    Sorry @happilyeverconforti majority of us (actually, almost all) take care to not misuse the CG's. We don't want violations and we don't want to get kicked off the site. If you think we're misusing them, you may want to reread them.

    @bemyguest- thanks for the tip, though others should probably consider it as well Smiley smile

    Hope all of you lovely ladies have great weddings and hopefully going forward we can see more NICE and HELPFUL comments regarding things and not just negative feedback that just pokes fun at what other people think. it's a sad day when a bunch of women decide it's best to gang up on people rather than to have a civilized conversation. but that's fine I will enjoy every aspect of my wedding regardless of what anyone else has to say about it Smiley smile and I hope all of you do as well!

    Cheers!!

    @alycia or whatever the heck your name is, I'll say it again.

    Your advice is terrible.

    Your advice is tacky AF.

    Take it however you want.

    And flagging non-violation posts is a CG violation itself. FFS.

    The passive aggressiveness is strong with this one.

    @bemyguest- you do realize that your post in itself is also passive aggressive, right?

    Wait, so your guests are expected to give you some crappy blender you don't want from bed, bath and beyond but saying you'd rather that money go toward your honeymoon is a no no? If you have dope, loving friends they probably just want their $ going to something that makes you guys happy.

    If you don't want to have a traditional registry, don't have a fucking shower.

    Cash at weddings is common up here. The last wedding I went to had a Honeyfund, a) hardly anyone contributed to the fund; b) people talked shit about the bride and groom being tacky; c) no one gave them cash. It was the first wedding I've been to where there were physical gifts.

    @tonia wow, you sound incredibly entitled in your post. Some people are gracious, grateful and humble; even receiving a "crappy blender you don't want" is a kind and thoughtful gesture.

    That's an incredibly rude thing to say, and a selfish and entitled attitude.

    Ignoring all the craziness here OP - I like honeymoon registries and so do everyone I've spoken to in real life - and as for advice on your question, if you have a website put it on there or just see if anyone asks where you're registered and say I'll send you a link.

    Alrighty, no Honey Fund it is then! LOL, Thank you all for your advice. And a special thanks to Ashley, this was the best:

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