Sandals Registry?

  I think it's perfectly acceptable to do a SANDALS registry. The reason why is because if you read Sandals registry policy, the money goes directly to Sandals, or the venders that sell the excursions. That being said, the couple DOES NOT get a check cut to them. The couple is not 'scamming' anyone. You're actually paying for their honeymoon! You're contributing to someone's celebration.
  
  There are way too many rude people on the Knot. It almost makes me NOT want to be a part of this community. Gift registries are tradition. If you're a guest, and you don't want to give a gift they need, in this case a honeymoon, why are you even attending? Why are you celebrating with them?

  I disagree. Using that logic, all gifts and registries are greedy. As long as the information is passed by word of mouth- what difference does it make? Its not your wedding. The bride and groom aren't insisting you give them a specific gift but simply offering a suggestion as to what they would prefer. I'd rather give someone something they will enjoy rather than worry about following tradition.

  [QUOTE]My friends did this.  I thought it was greedy.  Luckily they had a regular registry as well so we bought off that.  But I definitely had a word or 2 with my DH about how I felt about it.
