  I don't think the one you described sounds tacky... I don't particularly care for adding cash to a honeymoon fund. Since you already are registered at three other places, do you have a web site where people can find the hm registry info? And you could also ask your bridesmaids and family to spread the word. I'm not sure I would have them add it to my shower invite, though.

  My family would not be happy if we had one, even if we had traditional registries. I personally am indifferent to them but more on the side of not liking them. I really also hate when they charge a fee for buying things.

  I don't think they are tacky, but I know that a lot of people do feel they are. I kind of see it as if I'm going to spend money on a couple, I'd like it to be a gift that really matters or means something. Couples that already have all of the things you could register for on a regular traditional registry don't need any more house stuff. And I know a lot of people say to just register for upgrades or some little bonus items that you might not have normally bought yourself, but, I still see it as I'd rather give a gift of a honeymoon contribution rather than buy some upgraded salad bowl that you would have never bought yourself because it was 40 dollars. You know? I think that some people might have opinions on the tackiness factor, but regardless I still think most people would end up wanting to give you a gift that really makes you happy and makes a difference for you.

  I suggested my BMs to have our wedding website as the registry information instead of listing everything out on the invites. I think they prefer to have it on the invitations though.
  
  I know a lot of people feel strongly about this topic. The thing is, we have been living together for 3 years and we have everything we need/want for household items- so we registered for upgrades. We're paying for the wedding ourselves and really didn't think we could afford to go on a HM. After getting hotel points for having our wedding at a Hyatt, and found out if we cashed in all our credit card points, we could use it towards hotels for the rest of our HM- we decided to go for it because its once in a lifetime. A HM registry would be pretty helpful in us enjoying ourselves and not worry as much about our budget, and to us, would make us happier than a more expensive toaster than we have. I just don't want to offend people. I think I might just put it on my wedding website and tell my BMs not to add it to the shower invite. Thanks for the input ladies!

  I'm not a fan, but I'd be fine as long as you had the traditional registries as well.  It's when a couple ONLY has a HM registry that I get annoyed and typically choose something on my own.
