Hello again,
My FH and I really hate the idea of getting a bunch of "things," especially when most guests are spending a lot to travel. We are incredibly fortunate to have gotten basically an entire apartment worth of top-of-the-line stuff from my parents' recent move. I tried creating a Zola registry but there were only about 10 small gifts that we would want (including upgrades).
But of course we know that some people will want to give gifts regardless. I know that a honeyfund is a big no no. I have no interest in that anyway--we've been saving for our honeymoon for years.
So my question is, what are the pros/cons of creating a Charity Registry with our favorite causes (enough that even the conservative people could choose something appropriate) and asking that any gifts be directed toward that instead?
My only real concern is that it will seem a little self-congratulatory. What do you think?
