Thanks for all your thoughtful posts.

Believe it or not, people can put a check or cash in an envelope and mail it to your or hand it to you. Many of the websites that collect money like you described charge a fee. Also, many people consider asking for cash rude.

I suggest making a small registry of upgrades or no registry at all if you really don't want to make one, and people will often take that as a hint that cash is preferred. Many people give cash as a gift anyway.

Oh Jesus. Just get a red stamp that says "Send us $$$$" and go to town stamping it across your invitations.

Take Jessica's advice.

and before anyone suggests it...Honeymoon Registries are the same as cash registries and are even ruder because they have the added bonus of lying to your guests about what they are really giving you.

Can you explain to my why you think it's okay to straight up say "Hey FRIENDS!! GIMME CASH!!!" Because that's what you're doing. And it's ridiculously rude.

If people want to give you cash they will without the help of a Web site.

Why do you need a website to collect cash from your guests? Are they not capable of putting a check/cash in a card and giving it to you? Seems very silly to set up a cash registry, which by the way is inappropriate and may offend some of your guests.

Most people are going to give you cash anyways, you dont need to say anything.

I am not asking for cash, I am asking for contributions toward our first vacation together as husband and wife. A mixer or china - boring and you can return those for, CASH. Our friends have said they love giving us unique gifts and once in a lifetime experiences!

Unless the contribution is your own private jet, car hire, hotel and restaurants all to keep after your wedding, you are asking for cash and it is still rude.

And anyone who makes a registry with the intent to return everything for cash is just as dishonest as those who use honeymoon registries.

There is nothing like taking a journey together to grow as a couple. I think it is odd that you are belittling our experiences. To hang glide or horse back ride together is time that we will share unlike our domestic life back home. You can't touch these things with your hands, just your hearts.

Oh give me a break. DH and I have been taking a journey together since August 2001. We have had heart touching experiences at home because it is the other person, not a place or event that provides them. Just admit that you want a vacation that you don't have to pay for.
