Destination Wedding Registry?

Look on Etsy and search “Honeymoon Wish” they have some cute poem type sayings. We are doing the same thing, and putting the honeymoon wish card in with the shower and wedding invites!

My fiancé and I have a cash fund registry on our website so that people could gift us with money. Maybe that could be an option? Or make a “wish list” saying you’d rather guests support financially?

The simplest thing to do is to just not register. People often get the hint, and they know cash is a good gift. Poems and cash funds can be viewed as tacky by some. By not registering anywhere, you get the same message across without giving a 3rd party a cut of your money (or charging your guests for the privilege of giving you cash) or risking offending someone.

We are having a destination wedding also and we're just skipping the registry, people will take the hint , first thought of maybe writing a cute poem or smth but don't know how people will react to that so we just didn't put a registry and if somebody asks then we'll tell nicely that we would prefer some cash for honeymoon or future house deposit or just spread the word through our mothers !

Our son and future daughter-in-law opted to simply create an online honeymoon fund. They will be traveling for the wedding and also don't know when or where they will honeymoon due to her military service. We are telling family that asks to consider giving to the fund or provide cash/gift cards so they don't have to carry physical gifts back from the wedding.

Just don't register and ppl will gift you cash. You can tell people if they ask that you are saving for a honeymoon, or house, or whatever. Please don't put a cutesy poem or dictate that people give you cash or gift cards - it comes off very rude especially for a destination wedding where people already have to shell out a little more cash just to attend.

Everyone knows cash is a good gift - if you just don't register it will be fine!

Thank you all for your help!!! We've decided not to put a registry on our website.

Don't say it at all. Just don't have a registry, people will get the hint.

Are presents at destination weddings standard? I would have thought asking guests to fly to your wedding and needing to book hotel stays and get time off work would have been more than satisfactory. Especially if they aren't interested in vacationing at that particular destination and only doing for your wedding.
