I reckon its beyond tacky to do that. I didnt even register for my wedding. if people insisted on giving a gift (we really didnt want anything) then we accepted whatever they gave greatfully. I couldnt afford to take a honeymoon so we never did and we still cant afford to take a vacation like that so I’m not about to be payign for someone elses and wedding money registries are just as terrible as asking for money. a gift is up to the giver, not the reciever so I never understood this whole requesting a specific type of gift. (eg. money only, gift cards only)
What happen to getting toasters, cake savers and towels as wedding gift? the nerve of some people!!! soon their going to start asking people to pay for their own dinner….
I reckon they both are fine. Its 2007..people are used to registries and giving money. and if some people aren’t ok with that, then they can get you whatever they want! If I knew someone who registered like that, I wouldn’t even reckon twice about it! I would just give some money! nothing incorrect with that!
The registries are just a SUGGESTION. guests to not HAVE to give you something off the list! But its excellent for those people who want to give you something that you want! Whats incorrect with getting people what they WANT for their wedding?
Most people do like money for weddings the really the bank account thing sounds ok….but what is incorrect with just have something set up at your wedding were people can drop money off….. that way they can leave it in a card. Yeah I don’t reckon I like it that much!
I reckon it is tacky. You should allow your guests to get you what they want, it is more personable that way. If people want to send you money you can place it in a wedding account you have set up at your bank. Guests are not required to give you a gift.
sounds like a excellent thought either way. registry for a honeymoon can ease the costs of a honeymoon but so u both can still delight in or a bank one can help u both start out ur new life together and be able to afford the things u need to get started whether it be a house or car or just that u start saving money together or what..they are both excellent thoughts!!!
Its very appropriate with the way things have changed in weddings…most people getting married these days already live together and have everything a new couple would need so it has made gift giving for weddings near impossible…it is nice for people to know they are giving the couple something they will delight in and appreciate
I really don’t know why most of the answers on here, reckon this is such a horrible thought.
As a guest, I want to get the couple whatever it is that they want. If they want money for their honeymoon, I am fine giving them that! What if they just bought a house and they want Home Depot gift cards? Isn’t that the same thing? I am also fine giving that. I reckon it is up to the couple! If you are going to their wedding, you shouldn’t be cranky about giving them some cash to do something that they delight in. Not everyone enjoys a toaster and measuring spoons!
Plus, it makes it simpler to give within my budget, I just give exactly the amount that I can afford. I don’t have to wrap it, the couples family doesn’t have to cart it around after the wedding, etc.
I reckon it’s a excellent thought, but I would never do it. It’s tacky. I want to be able to tell my guest exactly what I want, but you can’t. It’s just tacky if you do and I would never do it.
You can’t expect people to give you what you want. You can’t even place registry info in wedding invites. But, if you do want cash for you wedding. The best method is to let your bridal party know.
Most guests will say, “Hey so and so, what does the bride and groom want as a wedding gift” Your bridal party and say, “well, I know they really wanted to go on a honeymoon, but I’m not sure they can afford it. Make something towards that?”
When I got married, I added tons of stuff to my registry because I felt like I was obligated to set something up like that, not question for what I really wanted….cash for my honeymoon. I would’ve much preferred $25 to cover lunch one day to cheap vases and crap that people gave us. I would’ve preferred $100 for a couples massage on our honeymoon, that we would’ve remembered forever, much longer than some of the crap that we received from guests trying to buy stuff that they thought looked more expensive than it really was. I reckon the thought of a cash or honeymoon registry, whatever you want to call it, is a fantastic thought!
I don’t reckon so at all. I am in my 20′s and nearly all of my friends who have gotten married recently, have set up similar registries. It is much more convenient for me to give them some cash then try to figure out what combination of things I can afford off of a registry anyway.
Personally, I never liked registries for myself but I had a friend that registered at 3 different places and it made it really simple for me. The bank thought is tacky but the honeymoon contributions sounds more practical and less greedy. I reckon registries are more for the shower, most people give checks for the wedding. And, how would you advertise a bank or honeymoon registry w/out it sounding tacky?
I reckon it’s very rude for one to question for money to take a honeymoon.
It is one of those things that sounds like it is a excellent thought, practical and helpful. But it is sad and yes, tacky. Any time a person acts like they are expecting gifts, or thinking about them, it is sad. I know we all know, there are going to be gifts, but such a conscious awarness of them seems greedy.
I don’t like it. I always have ignored registries, and given what I wanted to and chose myself whether it was an object or a check. I don’t like being told where to shop.
tacky and cheesey!
if you cant afford a honeymoon, then dont go on one.
I reckon the honeymoon registry is fantastic because guests can not only contribute money but they can also buy you fun activities and that makes them feel like they really bought you something. I’d say no to the bank registry….it’s the same thing as blatently asking for cash which is rather rude in my opinion.
TOTALLY TACKY!
Wedding guests are really not obligated to give a gift to the bride & groom. if the guests choose to give you a gift in celebration of your marriage – that’s fantastic, but let them choose what to get. Registries at stores are helpful if your guests are inclined to buy you pieces of your selected china pattern or other things which might be in your taste (not theirs).
It’s not tacky to register. But it is tacky to question for money. Based on that, the honeymoon registry is not tacky and the back account is tacky.
Although registering isn’t tacky, it is tacky to advertise the registry and question for gifts in that way. An invitation to a shower or a wedding should never include registry information–that’s really tacky. If guests want to know what to get someone, they will inquire and find out about registries–they shouldn’t be shoved into someone’s face.
Come on people, it’s 2007…..get a grip.
Everyone is right when they say “guests are not obligated” to give you a gift, therefore, they are not “obligated” to contribute to your honeymoon registry, department registry, or any registry. It’s their choice if they want to buy you something, and what they want to buy.
With that said, if the couple wants to have a honeymoon registry, then so be it. If guests don’t want to contribute to that registry, they don’t have to. They can just buy a different gift. A registry is a registry, no matter what kind it is.
People are so stuck on giving gifts that they reckon the couple should have, or that they THINK the couple would want rather than just giving the couple what they want.
I’d rather spend my money on something I know the couple would use as opposed to buying some $100 toaster that may sit in their basement for the next 50 years.
I have never heard of a money registry. That is beyond tacky.
Tacky.
Whatever happened to invites saying “No Gifts Please”.
Honestly, I’d RATHER give the couple money or something they specifically questioned for. It saves me the distress of having to go to Target and search all over the place for the $20 stainless steel bathroom trash can! I can see how some people would reckon directly asking for money would be tacky, but then, when you really sit down and reckon about it, you’re going to be spending money either way. Why not do it to where tax isn’t included, right?
I reckon it’s okay – at least they’ll use it – I don’t have to buy pots & pans – I’m still contributing the same $
Not only is it tacky, the honeymoon registries are also…I don’t want to say a rip-off, but they aren’t what you’d reckon.
When a couple registers at a department store, it is a completely free service for everyone involved. The couple does not have to pay to register, gift-givers do not need to pay a fee to give, and what is chosen is what is given. If I walk into Macy’s or Target, or wherever and see that the couple I know would like a particular toaster, then I can find that toaster, buy that toaster, and have it delivered to the couple who will then receive that toaster.
When a couple set up a honeymoon registry, every gift giver pays a surcharge on their gift. As much as fifteen per cent may be taken off the top of every gift given. Also, while the couple may register for snorkling lessons, and the giver may ‘give’ snorkling lessons, the money really goes into a huge slush fund and the couple then has to choose in the end whether they’re going to take the snorkling lessons or a couples massage, or any other thing they wanted. What you give is not necessarily what they get.
As for a bank ‘money registry’ who ever heard of anything that ludicrous? One assumes the couple has at least one bank account, and quite possibly two or more, depending on whether they share an account, have both savings and checking, etc. Anyone may simply write out a check or hand over cash to the pleased couple without any middle man whatsoever.
Cash and checks are a default gift, not something to register for,
It’s just like any other registry. Some people want a toaster, others want help with their honeymoon. I’m having a REALLY hard time understanding why people reckon registries are a way for the bride and groom to demand gifts from people. Where are people getting this crazy thought?!
Registries are nothing more than suggestions of gifts that people can give them. No one says you have to buy anything off of it, they’re just thoughts in case you don’t know what to get. It’s not being greedy, it’s making everyone’s life simpler, because most people like to give a gift to the new couple that they will be able to use and delight in.
shudderingly tacky
I don’t reckon that it is tacky. Really it is a excellent thought, because atleast that way people know they are getting their money’s worth. I would rather do that they buy a couple a gift and it gets thrown in a closet or something!!
Tacky if this is the only choice given because people should be given a choice as to what to give.
Some people like to give a gift that is personal and these registries take this choice away from the giver. Some people take joy in shopping for a gift even if you would prefer the cash towards whatever, but the choice should be the givers.
I reckon anything that takes the guess work out of what to buy is a excellent thought. The registries are fantastic for showers. Home Depot is another excellent one.
It’s sick and it’s just a money grab, very very rude. No way. If a couple can’t afford a dream honeymoon, they should NOT expect their guests to pay for it. And as for gifts, it’s just rude to tell someone you want money instead of them choosing something for you.
It all smacks of selfishness, immaturity and ungratefulness.
I reckon the money registery at the bank is tacky, but I don’t have any problem with a honeymoon registery. I know some people reckon it’s really gauche, but I don’t see a honeymoon registery as any different from other items on a store registery. For example, people register for expensive china, crystal and silver. They don’t expect anyone to buy all of it for them, just a place setting or a gravy boat. How is a honeymoon registery any different?
I’d like to advice to have confidence and faith in almighty Lord Shri Krishna.Go in the shelter of his lotus feet. He will solve your all problems.
” Hare Krishna”
I have heard of quite a few people having money place into a fund for their honeymoon instead of giving them a gift. I have not heard of people giving them money for the wedding itself.
I have only been to one wedding that I really took the time to buy a gift and it was my childrens’ god parents other than that I always give a monetary gift ( money ) and I know alot of people give money SO I reckon a registry at a bank is a excellent thought this way instead of giving money you will I guess give a bank slip. But don’t tell people how much to give you. I usually give the same $100 to everyone.
