tricky question

Just wanted to know how you guys would answer this..

I'm not registered anywhere, and I don't really care much about presents cause we have everything.

I have someone asking me what I want for them to bring to the wedding, to which I answer "You really don't have to bring anything, we have everything". But they keep insisting. 

Is it rude to say something like "Well, we don't really need anything, but if you'd like to contribute to honeymoon/wedding that would be great". 

But seriously, how do you answer a question when someone keeps insisting?

    I would just say, "We aren't registered anywhere. Right now, we're just saving up for our honeymoon."

    That will give them the clue (if they need it) that money is always appreciated. Most people will see you are not registered and draw that conclusion on their own. Some people really like bringing physical gifts though.

    My suggestion, and it's only a suggestion, would be to make a small registry somewhere of items Under $25 and under $50. That way if someone wants to buy a gift, they have the option; however, asking for financial contributions never sits well with anynoe. Best of luck!
    Praying for a miracle!

    I haven't said that, I was just wondering what someone would say.

    Making registeries is too late, I am getting married in 10 days regardless.

    Just keep repeating the fact that there really is nothing you need except their presence at your wedding.  If they can't get the hint then they are as dense as a rock.

    Them: "What can I get you?"
    You: "We really don't need anything."

    Them: "Come on, I want to get you something."

    You: "Well, we are saving for a house/honeymoon/pony."  (don't say wedding here)
    Them: "Cash is boring, what else?"
    You: "I'm sure whatever you pick out will be lovely."

    Also, I think you have time to make a small registry if you wanted and can think of things.  You can do it all online if you wanted--I know going to a big box store to scan stuff is not something you want to do with 10 days to go.

    I think saying "we're saving up for XYZ" always comes across better than "you could contribute to XYZ." if you say the first, it's more open ended, making it that person's choice to follow through. I think it's perfectly ok to give the insistent giver the hint.
