I want cash.

NuggetBrain

Yeah, I said it. I finally talked Noodle out of the honeymoon registry because it still just didn't sit 100% right with me.  We're going to do a regular registry at Target or something with some random stuff we want to upgrade, but there will probably only be 15 items on that registry total.  I know people say that the only way to "ask" for cash is word of mouth.  But I don't know a polite way of having my bridal party or mom or grandma respond to people who ask what we want when the registry is full.  Somehow "They just want a check" doesn't work for me.  Thoughts?

My folks are telling people we are trying to fix up the house (its decorated in 1970s/bachelor monstrosities), etc.We've only gotten one non-cash gift. Of course, there was the one friend who asked me where we were registered/what we needed, then 2 days later emailed me and asked me if I was changing my name/what monogram would I be using. So I told her I didn't know if I was to avoid a crazy monogram bathmat/toilet paper cover from her.

the complete outfit from john travolta saturday night fever. If somebody got me that for my wedding they would be my new best friend forever and always because how AWESOME would it be to strut around in that??Thanks guys - we definately aren't going to be moving into a house within 2 years after the wedding.  To save up for the down payment and stuff is going to take about that long, plus I'm going back to school next fall to finish up my degree so Noodle doesn't want to try and move while I'm doing that.  I supposed we could say that we're saving for a house.  That would be what we'd probably put all the money towards, that or paying off our debt which would in turn allow us to save more each paycheck towards a house.

Another question - do you think it would be appropriate to put it on the "Registry" portion of our wedding website?  Like "Noodle and Nugget are registered at Target, and are also saving up for their first house."  Or would that be bad?

I think as long as you put "and" rather than something that indicates you'd prefer cash, it's OK.

Registry: What nugget and noodle want the most is their friends and family to celabrate with them however, they are registered at target and saving up for a house in a few years.
