My fiance and I are still young, so we'll be living on the third floor of my house (unless -God forbid- my great-grandmother dies in the next 2 years), which is a hallway, bathroom, and one big room. We want kind of WANT registry, but in between our stuff and furniture, we won't have much room (though, we can use the downstairs kitchen for cookware). It would be more benefical if we recieved money for wedding gifts, but we would like to do both (if money isn't too rude already).
Should we do both or one of the two? And if money requests are acceptable, HOW do you request it without sounding impolite?
