Honeymoon fund vs items on registry?

This is definitely a "know your crowd" type question, but I have two thoughts to add.... First, just because something is on Pinterest does not mean it's necessarily a good idea. Do you or FS really want to have cake/frosting smeared all over your faces on the chance your guests are willing to pay you a couple hundred dollars (but likely much less than that) for it? (How much are you going to pay for HMU? How will that balance out with the way your face looks after you wipe off the frosting and make-up?) And, second, we "older traditional guests," who may find any means of "asking for cash gifts" offensive, may be the exact guests who are most likely to give gifts of the largest monetary value. (I'd guess for daughter's wedding, the guests over 45 probably averaged gifts of a minimum of $200 per couple -- although, some gifts were as much as $1000. Their friends/peers were much more likely to gift a spatula or a set of $15 napkin rings.) If you have a small registry to satisfy those guests who are going to buy you something tangible regardless of how many times you tell them you want cash, most guests are likely to gift you cash/checks, which you can then use for a honeymoon or whatever else you want to, and you do not need to risk offending those who find Honeyfunds or other means of asking for cash offensive. It's a win-win!
