Wedding Registry and Cash Registry?

Don't ask for money, just keep your registry small and people will get the hint.

You don't ask for money. If you make a small registry, people will get the hint and give you money. People know that cash is a good gift, you don't have to tell them, and the fact that you are asking for expensive stuff on your registry doesn't make asking for cash okay.

As a side note, I would try to make sure you have a wide range of prices on your registry. Some people will be looking to get you a physical gift, but won't have the budget for an 'expensive' gift.

No, just no. Keep your registry small and it's likely your guests will just give you cash anyway. Whatever you do, do not ask for cash or create a cash registry.

I've never understood why a "cash registry" would be necessary. Most guests give money at weddings anyways. IMO a registry is mainly for the shower.

Just keep your registry small. Maybe add a few things of lesser value. It'll all work out.

I worded that wrong. Sorry.

There are a wide range of prices on the registry. Just some of the stuff, like the vacuum, is a little high.

Do you ask for money on your birthday? No

Do you ask for money at Christmas? No

Do you ask for money on any other special occasion? No

Why do people think it's OK to ask for money at weddings? It's rude.

At the very least, pick one or the other.

Small registry and card table

A cash registry is not a thing.

You don’t ask for money. Adults know how to gift.

When I hear "cash registry," I wonder why it's necessary...are you trying to make sure you don't end up with too many twenty dollar bills? Because that's what a registry does: makes sure you don't end up with too many toasters. Duplicate cash isn't a concern.

People know money is a nice gift that the couple will appreciate. It's actually a pretty popular wedding gift. Your guests don't need to be told you want money. To ask for money is impolite. If you simply do a small gift registry and say nothing, your guests will take that as a hint that money would be a good gift idea for you.

As usual, Gretchen is right. Let me give cash of my own free will if I can't afford registry items.

Wait, if you already have pricy items on the registry, why would you think it’s ok to also ask for cash? To everyone else, that comes off as super greedy. If someone doesn’t want to buy from the registry, they can put cash or checks in a card without your prompting, and you’ll probably get more money because begging isn’t a good look. Have you watched the Parks and Rec episode when Mona-Lisa stuck her hand out to her father and begged, “money pleeeeaaaassseee!”. Yeah, don’t be like Mona-Lisa Saperstein.

I will now never not see Mona Lisa when these posts pop up...

If you want money, keep your registry small.
Dont blatantly ask for money, it can be seen as rude.

View Quoted Comment Agreed. People KNOW how to give money it isn’t a new concept. Cash registries however are a new concept and seem rude

People on these forums tend to br against cash registeries, as you probably are noticing.
My fiance and I are doing a mixed registry (Zola). That way if guests want to get us a gift but feel awlward giving cash, they can still purchase something.

I just discovered this new site Gifted. It’s a cash registry with a charitable twist. A portion of the cash gifts are donated to your favourite charity. You get to choose how much goes to charity. It’s such a nice way to ask for cash by giving back to charity at the same time! The site also offers online invitations, rsvp’s and thank you notes! If you don’t want to use online invitations you can just create a registry. Check that site out at www.thisisgifted.com.
