More facebook bride poor etiquette

Bride asking where did everyone register for there wedding? She stated I don't know what to ask for since we already have a house and have been living together for a year!

Responses:

Honeymoon registry at Zola

Register for a honeymoon! That's what we did, or money to pay for a honeymoon.

We are doing the honeymoon as well.

Honeymoon or cash gifts.

We put a cute quote stating we had a home but would love cash for honeymoon. She also stated that she found this quote on Google!!

Really, really. This just floors me that people can just ask for money. I guess I was brought up old school, yes I'm an older bride, but this is just common sense. You don't ask for money or gifts. Ok, done with my rant

Here is a reply to my comment about the company takes money and that you don't get full amount:

We registered at Bed, Bath & Beyond for my bridal shower, but we're doing a honeymoon registry through Honeyfund for the wedding. They only take a minimal amount for money given through credit cards (2.8%), but the funds are available for you to use almost immediately. This option is not only convenient for your guests but it also makes it so that you don't have to make a trip to the bank - which is especially good if you're going on your honeymoon right away.

Edit for paragraph

But everyone knows that if you put in a cute quote it makes it totally fine!

Ugh... so gross.

There is just so much tackiness and rudeness out there. People are shameless.

Cool, I'll just be over here weeping for humanity.

It just keeps getting better

You’re invited to our wedding, when we both say ‘I Do’ And as you know we’ve been ‘I do’-ing for at least a year or two! We’ve been together many years, and have a lovely home, There’s not that many items we don’t already own. So if your thoughts were on a gift, your presence will suffice; But if you really feel the need, donations to a honeymoon would be really nice! The choice is really up to you and we’d just like to say; That most of all, we hope you come, enjoy yourselves, and have a lovely day! We put this on ours, and included a very small register, I don't find it tacky it all, as some people like to shop for gifts, others dont. And it gives everyone the option to do what they want.

I don't think age is a factor, with you being an "old school" bride - my mother is continually harassing me to register for gift cards, honeymoon, or "just ask for cash".

Home girl needs to step away from Facebook.

That poem is seriously barfy.

flantastic · February 2015

I think I'm going to institute a policy where if they use a poem of any sort re: gifts, they will get no gift from me.

Possibly extending even to having a honeyfund. If I see a honeyfund, you get no gift. I'd try to find a stockpile of little Beyonces and give those instead, but since these people probably won't bother to send me a TY for it and I won't get to see their reaction, I think maybe no gift is better.

I don't even want to put a card box out.

EW so wait, this is all on Facebook through statuses? How many friends on her list are actually invited to the wedding? Thats going to be super fun when she has to explain to her friends list that they aren't invited to her wedding.

Second, that poem? GAG ME WITH A SPOON! A cute poem will NEVER mask the tackiness of asking for money.

Its a FB page for brides only where they sell items, look for vendors locally. So all of the posts are from other brides, or MOB etc.

Um. Yes, that's extremely tacky. Especially putting it on FB? Like PP said, how many of her friends commenting are actually invited?

FI and I have lived together for over a year (it will be 2+ by our wedding day) and, with this being my 2nd marriage, we have a lot of what would normally be on a registry. We have a small registry though and it's basically to restock our kitchen stuff. We need new measuring spoons/cups (because somehow those disappear), some utensils, new plates, pots and pans, and a few gadgets we want but just have never bought for ourselves. We're basically having one for those people that feel the need to buy a gift, figuring it's better than them buying crap we won't use. We seriously only have about 20 items on the registry.

I'm even more annoyed that it's such a poorly written poem. I started revising it in my head to make the form less atrocious, and then I thought to myself "No, Novella. You can only use your powers for good, not evil."

Such self control. lol

I assume these ladies forget it's a business. Money has to be made somewhere. A money-making business does not care if it's not within proper etiquette guidelines. Your guests however, do.

Last week I got coupons in the mail from one of the retailers we registered with to be used solely on merchandise from our registry. It was 4 coupons for 15% off that they suggested I give to my guests. Nice try, but no thanks.
