My fiance and I are a young couple, but we live in a small apartment and have nice jobs. We have everythigng pretty much that we want already for our apartment or if we don't I know that it's something that is too expensive for my guests to buy for us for a wedding gift. And I also know that if I for example put on my registry that I want a specific $500 knife set from bed bath & beyand, they'll pick me up a $50 set at kmart instead... So we have just decided to forgo the whole registry deal altogether, but people are making such a big deal about this because we're not registering. Honestly, what we could use right now is money. After paying for this wedding we won't have any left over to afford a honeymoon or a down payment on our first house. My MOH says it's fine to mention that we are not registering but we would appreciate donations for toward our honeyfund. My fiance's parent's say absolutely not, that it's tacky (which i sort of agree.) And my fiance wants to register with our bank who provides a wedding saving account for people to make donations to and also provides registry cards to send to our guests. So what's the right call here?
