      a troll is a term used for a poster who makes a controversial post just to stir up drama. In the event that this is a legitimate question, there is NO way to do this. As you've been told on the 3 other boards you posted this on, your guests aren't required to bring you anything, AND it's beyond poor ettiquette to mention…

      Yes your gut is right asking for cash and registering for honeymoon is tacky. The big issue with the HM registry is that the company takes a cut of what is given and then writes the couple a check. So if someone thought they were buying you a dinner and massage for 200, the company keeps about 10 percent of that and then…

      I am getting my girls a beach bag(once I find a nice one at a reasonable price)!!! A pair of Old Navy flip flops, a beach towel, Mary Kay sun/skincare products(got a great deal through my cousin who is a consultant), an anklet and earrings or bracelet. I was going to get them a necklace to wear for the wedding but with the…

      I am actually going to be picking my own flowers, so it will be a mix. I talked to the woman who owns the pick-your-own farm and she said that there is a mixture to let the flowers soak in so that they will last longer, and there are other methods of helping them last, such as wrapping the stems in wet paper towels and…

      no you don't have to get the groom anything if that's what you two decide to do. if you do want to get him something, get him something that he will like. what types of things is he into? gadgets? sports? act like you were shopping for his birthday or christmas. a tote bag isn't a bad idea, as long as there's some goodies…

      Two - Bloomingdales for our "basics" like sheets, towels, pots, and pans, and a specialty store in NYC for china (everyday and formal), crystal, and decorative things. In retrospect, I wish we had also registered at Simon Pearce - we ended up registering for a lot of SP pieces, and several guests picked out gifts on their…

      If it's a matter of budget, you can do a lot to thank them without spending a ton...some of the best gifts are homemade. Write a heartfelt card / letter to thank them, as other PPs already noted. Bake a loaf of bread, wrap it up in a pretty kitchen towel & give with the card...add a box of tea or bag of nice…

A Kindle (if you have thoughts on Kindle vs. Nook, I'd love to hear them!) Stuff off our registry... we didnt get…

      We did Crate & Barrel, Pottery Barn, and Target. Target's list we got duplicates of many things because I guess that's what everyone figured was easiest. Crate & Barrel was equally as popular... the only reason we didn't get everything was because it was a lot bigger than the Target registry. PB was unfortunately, almost…

      So many many things. Most of them are small but 'house' items that you don't use up. Like....picture frames, tea towels, candles, mugs, jewellery box, cutting boards. And a whole bunch of similar things. Really, there are lots. I already have enough of all of these things and space is at a premium in our condo. She has…
