Tendr Gift Registry

I've never heard of Tendr before, but if it's anything like Honeyfund or a GoFundMe, which is what it sounds like, please don't do it. It's rude to ask people for money

I've never heard of it either, but it sounds like money, and that's always rude. Adults know how to give you money.

Please respond letting me know your experiences with Tendr. I've had many people ask about my preference to give money so I would like to streamline the process. Thanks!

If people would like to give you money they can do it via check or cash as they have for the past hundred years.

The most streamlined way to give money is in an envelope, placed in your card box.

Step 1, write a check or take cash out of your wallet

Step 2, put in envelope

Why do people need help giving cash?

Let people write you a damn check, nothing more streamlined than that. My experience with Tendr is that if I were invited to a wedding where they were using it I would give them major side eye, because asking for money in any way is rude.

And don't get all snitty with the comments you're getting. This is the Internet, people can write what they want, and you can take the good advice or leave it.

Tendr charges recipients a nominal 5% service fee. Gift givers can give for free when they give from their bank account. If a guest wants to use their credit card - and many do because they can get rewards points - there is a 2.7% credit card fee, which is lower than sales tax and generally around the price of buying a card at the store.

OP do you see how this is bad? With cash/ check you actually get all of the money they want to give you

Streamline the process of getting cash- Step 1. Make a small registry. Step 2. Accept cash as given without asking for it thru a fund account.

It is generally accepted on WW that asking for cash is rude. Guests having been giving cash for years without any use of an online registry. So the majority of advice on here is to just let your guests bring cash/check to the wedding. There is also no reason to lose 5% of the gift received!

Hi Stephanie! Welcome to the internet, where anyone can respond *to* anything *with* anything!

So here's the deal: you can go ahead and use Tendr to have your guests deposit their cash in a third party account that takes a fee out at the end.

OR! You could set up a card box at your wedding that acts as your third party money holder, but there's no fee involved! Doesn't that sound so lovely?

There is nothing more streamlined than writing a check.

People know to give cash, and often will even if you have a large registry.

As a guest, I would never give to some random website that I had never heard of and that was going to keep a cut of my money. I would rather put the cash or check in an envelope. 100%.

Forget the registry website. People know what they're doing

If I were a guest, and I wanted the free option of providing my bank account info, I'm telling you right now, I wouldn't do it - the only people that will ever get that information is for my direct deposit. I also wouldn't enter my credit card and pay the 2.7% fee. Despite you having this, I would still give you cash or check in a card because it would be easier, less expensive, (and safer) for me.

Probably no one here has used this site because it's essentially a Honeyfund. Good luck OP.....

Is it like Tindr? If so, I would not recommend registering there.

No, that's just rude. It's asking for cash. If people can't figure out how to give you cash, then they need more help than a direct deposit website. And nothing like getting $5 of every $100 funneled to a company!

I dont see why these topics keep coming up. Every wedding ive been to people give checks or cash. Its easier than carrying a toaster in.
