Bridal Shower Registry

I'm confused is the bridal shower after the wedding? Won't you gave the same problem with moving the gifts to your new house if it is before? Also you could just set up a PO box in your new town to address the registry to.

There will be substantially less people at the bridal shower then at the wedding, so I figured we could make it work. Plus I didn't feel right about asking more money/gift cards twice. We thought about the PO box but decided that it would be easier (we are also having our wedding out of town with lots of older relatives who aren't the best with technology so they were happy with our decision so they didn't have to travel with a larger gift). But that is a good idea for the bridal shower!

Okay great! Thank you! And that is what I thought too but I had seen a few brides posting about registering there so I was a tad confused!

View Quoted Comment No problem!!

Unless you live in one of the few areas where most guests bring boxed gifts to a wedding, it’s highly unlikely you’re going to get boxed gifts at your wedding. So the asking for cash is really tacky, because that’s what you’d get anyway.
In most areas, the registry is just for the bridal shower anyway. If it was really impossible for you to take stuff to your new place, you wouldn’t have a shower at all.
So just create a small registry at Amazon or somewhere, register for some stuff for your new home, games, camping gear, whatever, and take the cash grab off your website.
Or decline the shower.

I am in the same boat!!! My FH and I already have everything we want/need and are trying to save for a house. I am still trying to figure out a way to say, no gifts just money please.
